I feel an obligation to post a few pictures of the boys, so here they are. They do not have any idea that anything is different. Trevor just is teaching Brendan how to eat shapes from the shape sorter.

Mmmmm shapes

The boys had a good day, but the rest of us were deeply saddened to learn that Grandpa Jack passed away just before 8am this morning. He shocked everyone last spring when he got kicked out of the hospice home for being too healthy. The doctors had given him just a few days to live! He just kept right on going and amazing everyone with his will to live.
He was a generous, patient, and loving father and grandfather. He has had and will continue to have a huge impact on our lives and the lives of our boys. He will be greatly missed!

I went through a few archives I could find tonight and pulled out a small collection of photos to honor his memory.
