My grandma flew to Ohio from Oregon to be with us for Christmas this year. She flew in Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning we had received a call informing us that my grandpa had passed. My grandma wanted to be there with him when his time came and we all thought she would be. We believe that he knew she was with family, where she needed to be so that he could let go. He had Alzheimer's and it had progressed pretty quickly this last year. My dad, brother, and I were able to fly out last year when he still knew who we were. We were fortunate enough to be able create new memories with him and reminisce on the old ones and enjoy what time we had left with him before saying our goodbyes, knowing that would probably be that last time we would see him, and now he's gone. However, we do believe we will see him again one day and we are grateful he is no longer in any pain or discomfort. He lived a full and happy life and i will forever cherish my memories of him. He's the one that had inspired my interest in photography and I wanted to share one of the last pictures he had taken.

So, our cats got a catnip toy for Christmas from Grandma. He loves it... Short time later... I look over and there he is, face down in a stocking sound asleep. LMAO

FYI, My mom had a large right side stroke a week before this Christmas Day 2022. My dad was there and noted some issues quickly and called 911, this likely saved her life. While he was on the phone with emergency services the local EMS that happened to be around the corner at the time rolled in while he was on the phone. She was expressed to the local hospital. They administered the needed clot buster medicine and she is alive and well today. Working on the remaining issues as you might imagine nothing is perfect. Hope you all appreciate your loved ones as much as I do now. Appreciate all the help from everyone so far. -YACC

So sorry for your loss. Alzheimer is a nasty one. I lost my Grandmother, Uncle and Father to it, and my mom is going through it now with the Lou body dementia form of it. It was great you were able to see him last year while he was still actually there and could be part of the time together with you. Now the challenge begins of taking care of your grandmother. It’s really hard on them if they were the primary care giver. Besides losing someone they love they often feel they have lost there purpose. Prayers to you and your family

Sorry for your loss, it's parent's passing that's the hardest.

My mother, age 90, born October 25, 1931, passed away this morning. My wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to talk to her last night and tell her we loved her. She will be missed very much. Please keep her in your prayers..... Merry Christmas, make sure you let your family know how much they are loved.
