How to sum up Grandpa and how wonderful he is is hard. No one loved all of us as much as Grandpa. He had an unconditional love and concern. Everything was always alright when Grandpa was around. He was Sydney's biggest cheerleader and optimist. I was so grateful to be able to go visit Grandpa a couple days before we went into the hospital. I was so happy to lay next to him on the bed and hold his hand. He expressed his love over and over. He lay in pain and so uncomfortable but asked about my family and Sydney. That was Grandpa!
My heart goes out to Grandma. He adored her and she adored him. It was a blessing over the years to see how sweet they were to each other. Grandma took such good care of Grandpa, especially these last years. 
I was soo worried about going to the funeral with all the stress and emotion from the hospital and not really having the chance to internalise Grandpas death I was afraid I would loose all control of my emotions. At the end of the beautiful funeral as the family started to walk out from the back you hear mariachis playing. Grandpa wanted mariachis at his funeral. I think as soon as they started to play every one had to kind of laugh, knowing that's what Grandpa wanted and it was so odd and random! It was great!
