On July 23rd Michelle flew from Houston to meet up with Randy and the boys (who were in Kansas) in Rapid City, SD to help care for Grandpa Wendt and say our final good byes. Such a hard but wonderful time. We were so blessed to be able to spend five days loving on Grandma & Grandpa Wendt and getting to see a few of the cousins. I was honored to get to tend to Grandpa (& Grandma) who so lovingly took care of my husband when he was a wee tot. Couldn't have ever asked for any more dear people to be our Grandparents. So thankful our sons were able to get to know their Great Grandparents. God blessed us with a special gift of Grandpa reviving enough to reminisce with Randy about different times as he grew up. It was heart felt time for my husband to get to thank Grandpa for all the wonderful things he has done in his life, love he has given and the lessons he has taught him. During one of Grandpa's lucid moments we got to hear each of them remember when they met. Grandpa even said he'd definitely marry Grandma all over again. Grandma is going to be lost with her other half of one waiting for her in Heaven but at least we were able to confirm that he would be waiting for us to get there. If you get there before we do, please give him a great big hug for us! We love you Grandpa Wendt!
We got the call Wednesday night, 08/05/09, that Grandpa had passed. The boys and I were scheduled to fly back out the next morning to help take care of Grandpa until he finally passed in to God's loving arms. Amazing enough, priceline.com refunded our entire airfare with no penalties. God is so faithful and good ALL the time.
