My pop died today, This week I've felt like a ping pong ball between OKC and Tulsa. We came to realize he was in his final days here with us. I saw things this week that will forever be in my heart and precious memories that I will be able to cherish always. The hardest thing this week was to watch my mema say good bye, How do you say good-bye to someone you've been married to for 66 years? I rejoice and I hurt all the same time. About a year ago after Ryan's grandmother's funeral I heard his grandfather say these words, I wrote them down as soon as I got home because I knew I would want to always remember them just as they were spoken, so simple and so meaningful, "Goodbye is always hard rather its just down the road or forever". Here is one of the most recent pictures my sister took of him which is just so perfect for remembering him.

Heather, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your pop and your difficult week. I know this is such a hard time with mixed emotions. You and your family will be in my thoughts and I will be praying for your comfort and peace. Love you!
Heather - I am sorry for your loss and the accompanying grief. My prayers are with your family.
Also, I am enjoying the blog. It's a nice way to keep up with you and Ryan since I'm not at Mem. Rd. on Sunday nights anymore and life seems to be so busy.
