My sister, who has been living in Hungary, was able to move up her flight moving back to the states a week and arrived to PDX on Friday night. Since one of my parents had to come up from Eugene to pick her up from the airport, I decided to head down with them and catch a Bolt Bus home on Sunday. Despite getting back to Eugene right around midnight, the whole family went over to sit with Grandpa for a little bit.<\/p>\n
Each day we went over for a little bit and basically just watched him sleep.<\/p>\n
I went with an old friend on Sunday morning (who knew him well), and then once more by myself right before I had to head down to the bus stop\u00a0to go home. As I left, I kissed his forehead and told him I loved him one last time.<\/p>\n
Overnight, he passed away peacefully in his sleep. His journey on this crazy planet complete.<\/p>\n
I’m going to miss you grandpa.<\/p>\n
I’m happy he got to meet both of my sisters children before he passed away. Someday I hope to tell my own children stories about him.<\/p>\n
This is one of the last pictures of him, from the weekend James was born:<\/p>\n
