Putting it Together...

....bit by bit!

I just ordered our invites!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I know it's hard to see, but it's pink hearts and swirls. Our ink color is dark pink and the font is less "scripty."

Holiday Spirit

Jay put the lights on our tree yesterday afternoon, after working all night, and did a perfect job.

Last night, getting ready for bed, there's a santa hat on the dresser. I ask him why it's there, he said, " I wore it while I was putting on the lights."

Priceless.

Today is my birthday

Can't say it feels like it though. But I did become famous overnight. Check me out on my favorite gossip site! Scroll past Britney on Us Magazine:

My grandpa died at approx. 4:20 this morning. The wake will be Monday, funeral Tuesday.

I'm so thankful that I've been with him these last few days, by his side. Even though, it's for the best at this point. I am just so very sad.

Vigil

My grandpa is still hanging on, but most likely, not for much longer. The most important thing is that is resting peacefully and comfortably. We've been spending most of our time sitting beside him talking to him, stroking his arm, holding his hand... So many people are there taking care of him and looking out for him. It has been so touching to see staff members come in to see him. They all say such wonderful things about grandpa and how funny he is and how much he loves the Yankees : ) Warms my heart.

 

Jay has been so great through all of this. He takes care of me and has been right there with me always. I am truly blessed.

The Latest

My grandpa is under hospice now, on morphine. He will likely be gone in a matter of days. It's all too real now. It had to be done though, he was in agony. I looked awful yesterday. His brother and nephew are visting today, along with my family. I was a basketcase last night. Thankfully had Jay and Tylenol PM to help me calm down and get some sleep.

Grandpa Status

Not so sure how he is today yet, but he's "home." He got brought back to Sunrise today so at the very least, he's in comfortable surroundings which we are all happy about. My parents are going to visit him this afternoon then fill me in. He didn't look so great on Saturday when I saw him. I think his lack of eating and drinking is really taking its toll on his body. Yesterday, Jay and I went to church and I lit a candle for him. I feel good about doing that, but it did make me tear up a few times when I looked over at it during mass. I felt like it represented him still holding onto life - the candle holding onto its flickering flame.
