So hear I am here crying...again it's not really bad considering I am smiling. I promise that this is not going to be a trend in 2008. I am still awaiting news on my grandfather and hopefully will hear something soon. But what I am crying over...

Last night things finally calmed down a bit and my aunt called to tell me about whats been going on. The day they had to send my grandfather to the hospital in NB, a blizzard was hitting the Maritimes. My grandmother went in the ambulance of course and 2 of my aunts took a car over to meet them. The hospital is about 2-3 hrs away so my aunts headed out ASAP before the storm got worse. As they were driving they got a phone call---From my GRANDFATHER!! on his cell phone. We was in the back of the ambulance, in so much pain they couldn't stop how fast his heart was beating. But he was more concerned about how his daughters were doing in the storm. He asked where they were and since he couldn't see himself where he was, he asked the driver. It was determined my aunts were not too far ahead and the storm was getting worse. My grandfather convinced my aunts to pull over and then got the ambulance driver to look out for them so that the ambulance could lead the way and my aunts would have someone to follow and also someone in case they got in trouble.

This is just a TINY fraction of the type of man my grandfather is. I am so lucky to have someone so awesome in my life. I would love to go home and be there but I know there is no way he would be happy with that. My grandfather may not be a man of many words but when he does speak we sure listen
