So I just got back from Illinois. Exactly seven months after being there for my Grandmother's funeral I returned..same church, same people, same town... but this time for Grandpa.
I think we all knew it was coming, the dear old man was 93 years old and had fought for quite sometime. Honestly I think most of us event thought he might of gone even sooner after my grandmother's death in February. But he was willing to fight and he did until he just couldn't any longer. He very peacefully passed away on September 29th.
But this time it was different, this time would possibly be the last time we all came together in that little town of Lincoln, Illinois. It now was no longer the melting point for our family. As much as we all dreaded the trip up there some Christmas's it honestly just wont be the same this next time around. Sure, we'll return to Illinois and yes of course we will stay in contact with the family, but as we all grow older the fact is we will start growing apart.
The saying is true, in these times all you do have is family and I definitely felt this while being there this last weekend.
Lives may pass, but memories are forever
