While Ryder and I were adjusting to a "new" home, Jeremy's Grandad's health took a sudden turn for the worse. He spent a few days in the hospital before passing away last Tuesday morning. We were very fortunate though to spend a lot of time with him at the end and have a lot of family around. Although it is never easy to lose a loved one, I think the time we had to talk, remember special memories and spend precious hours together was a great blessing. He is now in a better place and watching over us and also looking forward (as we all are) to the day that we will all be together again and be an eternal family with our perfect resurrected bodies and no more pain, tears and sadness. We will miss him, but we are promised that we will be together again soon. And as I told him when I last saw him, I'm looking forward to our horseback ride in the future.
The day after Grandad's passing I had another Dr. appointment in which she determined that the medication was not working and I am having to start over on a new medication which takes another 2-4 weeks to start working. And orders to not go home yet and more rest (and even more drowsiness). This time has been frustrating and left us with heavy hearts, but we have promises for a brighter future from our Lord so right now we are just trying to hold on look toward his light.
