Calvin and Zhenya- I just found out that Grandpa died this morning. He went to the emergency because he wasn't well. Dad picked him up for church earlier and he collapsed walking to the car and dad caught him and took him back. They said he had been so weak lately. We feel awful we didnt go back after church to give him the sacrament. We are saddened by this news but comforted that he is with grandma again and what a joyous reunion that must have been! I love this gospel! The knowledge we have from the restored gospel makes times like this more peaceful and hopeful. I am sorry this had to happened while you are away Calvin. I copied Zhenya on this email because she lost Grandma on her mission. Zhenya, maybe you can share how you dealt with that loss away from our family. Grandpa was a great man and will be missed. We will always have fun wonderful memories and stories of him and Grandma. I am so grateful for their legacy of faith they have left for us.
I love you both and will tell u when the funeral is Zhenya.
Love, Mom
CALVIN'S RESPONSE:
Awwww man! I honestly thought he was going to live another few years. I'm really surprised. That's definitely sad and joyful at the same time. He probably wasn't having the best time spending the rest of his life in a retirement home and now he's with grandma again so I'm sure he is super happy. How's dad doing with it? That's gotta be hard losing your last parent. I'll keep everyone in my prayers. I'll definitely miss grandpa and I'm sad I won't be at the funeral but as long as he's happy in the spirit world and resting than that's all that matters to me. I'm definitely grateful for them both as well and everything they did as parents and grandparents. Till we meet again grandpa!
