Christmas day my Papa passed away. For those who have been reading my blog for a while you will probably remember that me and Papa were extremely close. We have gone to church and brunch every Sunday since I moved back to New Orleans about 2.5 years ago. Although it was an extremely sad day, I know he was at peace with all of his children and grandchildren by his side. And I take comfort in the fact that he isn't in pain anymore. We had just celebrated his 90th birthday party, so he definitely lived a long and fulfilled life. The service and burial will be on Wednesday.
I went to church today for the 1st time ever without him. I didn't think I would be able to do it, but a cousin offered to go with me so I went. We go to a relatively small church and he had been a member for over 50 years so I knew everyone there would be sharing in my loss. It turned out to be a wonderful morning. I heard so many fun stories and memories from his friends.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I loved reading your posts when you mentioned your grandpa, I could feel the love. I know the choirs of angels sang when your grandpa got to heaven and he will forever look down on you.
