Today we mourn the passing of Marie's grandfather. I never knew either of my granddads, they died before I was born. On my wife's side, she hour to know them both. However, grandad Wilson was her last grandfather. He was a funny guy with lots of stories about his life: how he met his wife, his time in the army in WWII, the first time he attempted skiing... They could go on and on.
On my side of the family, same day as grandad Wilson, we lost Mary Lou Ricker, an aunt of mine. For both of these events I was at TechEd in Atlanta. The hard part for me was not so much the passing of my family members, we figured grandad was not long for the world after a recent doctor visit, but I feel bad I could not be there for my wife when she found out. I also feel bad for my brother-in-law, he was traveling to visit his family when we found out grandad died.
I will post about TechEd next week, for now I haver a family to take care of.
To Mary Lou Ricker and Grandad Wilson: you will be missed.
