bittersweet

today was very happy and very sad.

we celebrated matt's 33rd birthday! had a fun breakfast in our jammies--waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. took a long walk by the lake with the boys. it was a beautiful fall morning-- cool, but not cold and some sunshine (finally)!

early this afternoon we got a call that my grandpa took a (big) turn for the worse and that he might not make it until tomorrow. he was moved to a hospice home yesterday. he had had a rough year with severe pain and multiple surgeries. matt and i were able to visit tonight about an hour before he died. he is pain free now...

we will have great memories of him!
