One of the biggest blessing of my job, thus far, has been getting to be part of my grandpa's hospital stay. He passed away on March 3, 2021. I've honestly never felt closer to my grandpa. He was sassy all the way to the end. Because of COVID-19, Grandpa had limited visitors. I feel so lucky to have been able to FaceTime each of my siblings as they said goodbye to Grandpa. Each one had a memory that was close to their hearts or a life lesson that he had taught them. I think the biggest lesson he has taught me, I learned after he died. I've learned how much one person can affect so many.
Grandpa has been closer to me than ever. He's helped me complete over 200 names of his genealogy since he passed away. I've never been so lucky so find even half those names. When he died, I started having dreams of names and people that I needed to locate. It's be really interesting to be part of my Grandpa's genealogy. I hope he knows how much he is loved and missed.
