I understand the feeling of sadness at losing a loved one but also feeling thankful for a full and loving life. <br /><br />My maternal grandfather got pneumonia when I was 14 and it almost killed him (it was the same type that did kill Jim Hensen). He was in the hospital from Thanksgiving to Easter that year, with over half of it in the ICU. It was a happy day when he left the hospital. He was on oxygen for the rest of his life, but he still traveled with my grandma and enjoyed attending his grandchildren's events. Ten years later he went into congestive heart failure and his battered lungs just couldn't cope. He passed away surrounded by his wife, daughter, grandchildren, and a sister and we sung hymns to him as he went.<br /><br />It sounds like you grandfather was blessed with a very similar experience. I hope you and are family continue to feel peace at his passing.<br /><br />Jenn H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-12096307100889292752011-01-20T20:14:06.065-05:002011-01-20T20:14:06.065-05:00It sounds like you have beautiful memories of your...It sounds like you have beautiful memories of your grandparents.
