The day after Payton got her tonsils out, we received a phone call late that night from Chad's uncle with some sad news. Chad's dear grandfather had passed away. The visitation was to be held in Carroll that Monday evening with the funeral the next day. Since Payton was just a few days out from surgery and still not up for traveling that far and being around all those people, she was not able to go. Thankfully my parents were able to stay with her so Chad and I could make the trip. The service was very nice and we were all reminded of what a great man Chad's grandfather was. Living to the age of 93 is pretty awesome. He had a long, full life and was very, very loved. At the service, they talked a lot about what a milestone it was for he and Annabell to be married for 66 years. Wow...that really is quite something. Chad and I did the math and in order for us to be married that long, Chad will need to live to be 100. :)
