I'm still here-again

[~¤DG¤~]

Sad day today.
The boys' great-grandfather passed away last night. He has been ill for years but this past year he really declined.
He was very involved in the kids' lives as they were growing. The one perk of having children so young was they had an opportunity to develop a relationship with their great grandparents.
S15 is the first great grandchild, and he will be a pallbearer at his funeral. I am so proud of him for stepping up to the plate.

Even though exh & I have been divorced for many years, I still have a lot of respect and fondness towards his family. They have always been there for the kids, more than my own parents, and as a result are pretty close knit with them. We would always sit together at school and sporting events and people always said that my kids had the biggest cheering section.

So today my heart is a little heavy, sad that he has left this world but grateful that he is in a better place and will always be with us.
