We are here! My brother Ben and I left on monday morning at 7:30. We drove all the way to LA in one shot. We really did not want to have to stay in a motel. The plan was for us to take turns driving, but believe it or not, my brother drove the entire way! I kept offering to take over but he kept saying that he was fine. We stopped at gas stations and rest stops. We even stopped to take an hour nap at a rest stop. From Gig Harbor, WA to Los Angeles, CA took us a total of 23 hours. Needless to say we totally crashed when we got to my Aunt's house at 5:30am. Even though I was exhausted. Thank you so much to all of you who have commented on my Grampa. I am sorry that I might not be able to comment very often but I promise I will when I can! I will be here for a total of 2 months. The next three weeks Daisy and will be here and then Rue will come down the first two weeks of August and then I am going to stay the last 2 weeks of August. Whew! That's a long time!! But I love my family and love being with them. This Friday is the funeral and then Saturday is the celebration service. Thank you so much for all your prayers!

Glad you made it to LA!! Give a squeeze to Daisy for me and I hope that in spite of everything that you have a sweet time with your extended family!
I'm glad you made it, Annie. Take it easy, and enjoy your family. I hope we'll still have sunshine here, when you return.
Tough times like this is when family is even more important - to stand together and comfort each other. My hope is that your family will find comfort and consolation in this time of loss. ec
