Well, today I experienced something that I hadn't experienced before.  And that was finding out from my dad that my grandfather on my mom's side of the family passed away this morning. It didn't come as a shock to me, since he had been suffering from dementia for quite some time now, plus he was thought to have had prostate cancer as well, though it was never really diagnosed.  And he had been really going backwards in the last week and a half after he and Grandma went to spend some time at one of my aunt and uncle's place.  They had done that so that there would be somebody to help Grandma, since Grandpa was needing almost 24 hour care.  But I guess he knew that he wasn't at home anymore and was so homesick that he went downhill fast.  So even though it's sad that he's gone, you are glad that he is in his real home now, as my mom put it.  No more suffering. 
   I haven't heard yet when the funeral is going to be.  We are having revival meetings at church this week, so Naomi and I probably will have to skip a service or two.  Anyway, you can pray for my family, and especially my mom.  Dad said she is taking it pretty hard. 
   Well, I should head to my earthly home.   Have a blessed rest of the week.
