My Grandfather Willis Lee Brainard Was Called Home This Morning

This morning, my Grandfather Willis Lee Brainard was called home... 

At this moment, he's kissing my Grandmother and hugging my Father. And there is a long line of old friends and family waiting to shake his hand and welcome him home.

I'll forever be grateful for having this amazing man in my life and I'm a better human because of his influence on me.

I love you Grandpa...

My Grandfather was a proud veteran. He served in the Air Force during World War II as a "Ball Turret Tail Gunner" with the 323rd Bomb Group, 453rd Bomb Squadron from 1941 to 1945.

Day 39 - UNM Hospital, Nice Dinner And The Dude

India and I have been in a holding pattern for 2 weeks while we wait to be flown back to Boston to get her help. India is in pain and living her life in a hospital bed, a hospital where very little is being done for her other than pumping her full of painkillers. 

But India isn't the only one suffering. The rest of my family is too. So tonight I made a nice dinner for Vikki while she was out. She returned to a nice meal complete with flowers and candles. We ate outside and had a nice evening.

YES I PUT ALL OF THIS TOGETHER...

I took about a 2 hour nap after dinner and awoke to Nikki grinning at me when I came into the living room. He had gotten out of bed and was playing with his cars. He was so happy that I was up, he wouldn't leave my side. 

The two of us hung out from 1:00 am to 6:00 am, it was a good time; I love my boy.

Even wearing a Spika Cast, India was still smiling.
