Ryan's dad passed away on Sunday, January 18th. He died of complications related to Congestive Heart Failure. He really had a rough year in 2008 and had been on Hospice for a few weeks. Logan was a little sad, but he handled it all very well. Caden thinks that we left Grandpa at the new church (the mortuary) and when we went to the viewing all he could say is that, "his head is dead." I heard so many people make comments about how different the body is without it's spirit, I think this was Caden's way of expressing that same thing. Caden also wanted to know where Grandpa's legs were. The funeral director did a great job talking to the kids about death and showed them where Grandpa's legs were. He was asking all the grandchildren who was in heaven with Grandpa. Some replied Jesus, and God. Caden said that the Power Rangers were in heaven with Grandpa. Now he has the energy to play with them.
The poem on the cover of the program for his funeral contains a poem that was written by his grandmother when he went on his mission. It was really cool that they were able to find it.
