The disease claims another. So tragic. He has gone.
Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. So my daughter has lost her Grandpa "Welly"; he died peacefully. Giving thanks for the wonderful nursing staff who made his passing as comfortable as they could.
Sad, feel a great loss but not heartbroken. Heartbroken went with him, thanks to the grace of God, my sponsor and this beautiful family.

It makes me think of what I sometimes tell my children, that we cannot always understand the meaning of sad/bad events in our life, like the death of a loved one. Its a bit like looking at one of those pictures made up of many tiny pictures so that if you are up close you see the individual pictures, and when you step back, the larger picture becomes clear. We are too close to the picture to see the pattern that HP (God) sees from his perspective. There is purpose and meaning everything, even if we cannot fathom the pattern.
May this give you comfort in this time of sadness.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May Grandpa rest in peace. Keeping your family in my love and prayers tonight. Welcome Suzannah, nice to meet you.
