Grandpa Park

I've sat down and started this post several times, not knowing quite what to write. So, I've decided for now, on my public blog, just to keep it simple.

A little bit ago I said it had been a week of up and downs... the reason being that on ... our dear Grandpa Park passed away (Nic's grandpa). One Sunday morning he was getting ready for church then by Thursday he was gone. It all happened so quickly, which really was for the best. It was a bittersweet week, filled with many tender moments and tears.Just a few thoughts:
I am grateful for the Plan of Salvation and picturing the reunion that was taking place between Grandpa and his dear daughter, Denise (Nic's mom).
Although it was for a funeral, I'm grateful for the time we got to spend with Nic's aunts and cousins who we don't see very often.
Grandpa was a private man. I loved learning more about him, his life and his personality.
We will miss him.
