We lost a fantastic grandfather & great grandfather yesterday.  I know he lived a full life, & I know he was very much loved.  I take solace in knowing that he is now without pain & that he will be able to look over us every day of the rest of our lives.  He won't be here physically to see Leah grow up, but he will see her nonetheless.  I will miss him more than I ever thought.

Grandfather

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.

Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul's at rest

There is no need for tears.

For with your love I was so blessed.

For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not,

The fear now all is gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts,

In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath

Remember not the strife.

Please do not dwell upon my death,

But celebrate my life.
