Sad News.

I just received word today that Augi's great grandparents have passed away. My grandfather died two days ago and my grandmother passed away in May. It is very sad. I haven't stayed close to my family, so nobody remembered to call in May. It doesn't really make a difference to know now or in May. Either way, I have lots of regrets. I hadn't seen them in three years or so. My grandfather used to call weekly, until last year when he was put in the nursing home with my grandmother. I couldn't go visit them until this summer because Augi couldn't tolerate a long car ride. We planned to go this summer, but never got around to it. In fact, Chris was just thinking about it this morning, trying to come up with a plan. The drive was only 3 1/2 hours, but that seems like forever and becomes 5 hours with a little person. Anyway, I have lots of guilt for not visiting them more often. They were an important part of my life and a big influence on who I am. I am sorry Augi did not get to meet them.
