So my grandfather passes away on October 8th, the day after my dad's birthday. While it was extreamly heartbreaking the whole weekend was bitter sweet.
My grandad had been living in a facility with his 91 year old mother in Wichita Falls for a little shy of a month. Something that will probably add another year to my Nanny Rene's life! So my mom and dad brought Nanny back to stay through all the upcoming events. Starting that thursday night we went through tons of old photo albums and laughed and reminised through all the years of my Grandma and Grandad! I learned NOT to give your Great grandmother prune juice and chris learned all the in's and out's of Skip-bo (which we also learned of "new" rule this time from Nanny). Mom and I took her to Sears, her favorite store, and she was in her wheel chiar scooting all around the clearence racks! We shared old stories with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins, Daniel even had us in tears at one point! I know that Grandma and Grandad would have been happy to know that we were remembering all the good and happy times of their lives together and I'm so happy that they are reunited together with the Lord! The picture above is the entire Horton Family, all together as one!
