Grandpa Payne
My grandpa Payne isn't doing well. He's steadily declined in health for the past year or so, but he's been really bad since he was septic about 2 months ago. Hospice was called in 2 days ago and that same day he fell and broke his hip. Right now he's bed ridden. Luckily, his Dr got him into a home for the next 5 days so that he can have around the clock care. My poor grandparents; they love each other and want to take care of each other desperately, but right now neither is able to help the other. We're spending a lot of quality time with them as his end nears. He's been such an incredible person in my life! Not many grandpas coach their granddaughters t-ball teams or watch them every Friday so their mom can work a little bit. He calls almost every day just to say he loves me, and ends up hanging up early because he gets so emotional. He's never without a coin to pull out of my kids' ears. It's been so hard to see him like this, in do much pain and confusion. I just love him so dang much.
