John just came home from work and told me his dad called and said Grandpa Brightbill passed away. He had been battling cancer and had surgeries and chemo, but was always in high spirits. He was always happy and a wonderful person to be around. He gave the best bear hugs ever, those hugs just made you feel loved. I am really lucky to say I knew him.

I lost my grandparents decades ago and when I married John I instantly had grandparents again. Grandparents who love me like I was one of their own grandkids. Today I feel the same hurt I felt all those years ago when each of my grandparents past away. I know he is in Heaven and out of pain now. I know he wouldn't want us to be sad since he lived a very full and happy life. Despite knowing all this it doesn't stop me from missing him.
