Family is always there for you

Last Sunday, we got that call that no one ever wants to get. It was my brother and he told me that I needed to get to Mema  and Pop's house as fast as I could because Pop was passing away.  I wanted and tried to get to their house before Hospice moved him from their house to the Hospice house.  I didn't make it but after I got there, Hospice called and told us to get there as fast as possible because it was happening a lot faster than expected.  I was the first one in the room.  I made sure that I told him that I loved him and that he has always been the best Pop and Father in the world.  I also kissed him on the forehead and then just sat beside him.  The whole family was there and we are a pretty big family.  We were all there for each other.  We were there for ten minutes and then we all watched him pass away.  It was such an emotional process, but I am so glad he knew we were all there and that we loved him so very much.  He was such a huge part of my life.  He loved us so much.  He took care of all of us.  I know that he is not suffering anymore and that he is where he needs to be, but I do miss him so much.  My Mema and Pop have always been like parents to me.  I lived with them for 9 years and I just have so much respect, love and appreciation for every thing they have done and do for me.  I love you infinity Pop!  Hayden, Gracie and Colton love you to the moon and back!

Thank you so much to every one in our family for all the prayers, kind words and help with our babies.  Aunt Linda, I don't know what I would have done without you.  I don't even know how to repay you for every thing.  You are such a great Aunt and we love you!  Thank you Mimi, Pop and Kim for helping with the girls at school when I couldn't get there in time, for all the calls just to make sure I was okay and for coming to the funeral and being there for me. I love you all so much.
