It's a sad day

On Saturday my grandpa Thompson passed away. (He's my step-dad's father) He was on hospice and very sick but fortunately he was in no pain. My mom and step-dad (Randy) have only been married a few years so I haven't gotten to know his family well, but they are are such wonderful, caring people. We have a funeral to go to this morning and my emotions are here and there and everywhere today. My grandpa was so loving, selfless, funny, he always had a smile on his face and would give you the shirt off his back. He was married to his wife Wauneta for 58 years! Most of us only hope to spend that many years with our spouse! It is very clear what a wonderful person he is because his sons are also great people. I cannot put into words what this family is like...I have never met people like them before! They don't judge, they love each other so deeply, and they have some of the quirkiest senses of humor ever! My emotions are all over the place today...I just wanted to share some of my thoughts with you all. So, this is in memory of Theodore Thompson...We all love you very much!

  2. Aww sweetie! What a kind thing to say about Randy's family! They all love you as if you were born into their family, that's what I love best about them. They're very accepting and love unconditionally.
