I found out yesterday afternoon as my mother and David greeted me as I walked through her door that my Grandpa Emmitt died yesterday afternoon. I have never lost an immediate family member. This is the first of my four grandparents to die! Grandpa just celebrated his 90th birthday on January 9th. I am having a really hard time right now!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not really at a place to honor him here on my blog, but I hope to be soon. He was THE MOST AMAZING MAN EVER!!! Please pray for our family and visit my cousin, Mary Ann's, blog today to read 100 things about our Grandpa Emmitt. I loved him so much!!! I really, really, really cannot imagine my life without him right now. I know that we were so blessed to have all of our grandparents this long and he had a WONDERFUL life, but I'm not there yet. I'm still a little angry, not as much as I was yesterday. This was not expected! Here is the link to Mary Ann's blog http://www.fergylicious.blogspot.com.
Enjoy!!!

aww Juli beth..I'm so sorry. I'll be praying for you
I'm so sorry and I wish i had some great words of wisdom about how to deal with the death of someone so close to you. Unfortunately I am still learning this for myself but I have learned that the only way to get through these times is to lean on God and on your family.
