It's been 2 weeks since we started. Wow. I felt really good during this morning's walk. My legs felt really strong, and I felt great afterwards. I hadn't walked since Wed. I have a cold and took Thurs off to rest and try to make it go away. It's still lingering, but it felt good to get outside this morning.
I found someone from Crystal Springs (Nancy, hi) so hopefully we can get together sometimes. My mother in law lives there and it's just 10 min drive for me.
Thanks everyone for your prayers for our family. My grandfather (Abuelo, as we called him) passed away this morning. The dr. had prepared us for this, he had extensively talked to our family about what had happened and how things were looking.
He lived 94 yrs, and always said he had lived his life with no regrets. He helped anyone he could, had a very generous heart, and he taught us the importance of family. He was a proud man, a hard worker, and a man of his word. He leaves all of us with a legacy of love. He leaves behind his wife of almost 65 yrs (their anniversary was 2/18), 3 daughters, one son, and many, many grandkids, and great grandkids. He was preceded by all his siblings, one son, and one grandson.
He was a great man, and we will miss him very much. But he will go on forever in the hearts of all of us who were blessed to know him.
My daughter Candace had the chance to meet him a few years back. Even though she wasn't around him as often as we would like, she knew him from the stories we told her of this man. She is at a friend's house today, and my friend was telling me she overheard Candace telling her daughter about her Abuelo being sick and in the hospital.
That's how great this man was, that even his 5 yr old great grandaughter, thousand miles away, was praying for him and talking about him.
I'm now left to decide if I am going to go or not. With work, and the twins, it's very hard for me to just pick up and go. So I'm just praying right now that God will help me make this decision. Abuelo knew I loved him so I'm at peace knowing he knew.
