Family bonding

As most of you who read this are aware, we were in Buffalo to spend some time with Grandpa Wagner as he was leaving this world. We are so thankful we were able to have this time together. Saying goodbye is extremely difficult. However, Grandpa kept telling all of us that he was okay and that he was ready to go to God. That takes a small portion of the sting out of the heavy loss. I didn't take the camera out too often while with family, but here are a few of the pictures I did manage to get. 

 I'm sure Gabe and Grandma are having some sort of in depth conversation. Maybe he is learning all the secrets of life here.

 Charlie continued his "crush" on uncle Andy. Look at that smile I caught on his face. This is after the hospital bed was all ready for Grandpa to come home the next day.

 Aunt Debbie went crazy on toys for this guy. This is a vibrating grape that Gabe loves. It is a rather amazing invention and one we are thankful to be introduced to. I love the smile on Debbie's face in this picture!

Gabriel and Grandpa enjoyed some time together on the bed. They had a beautiful conversation and cuddle. I'm so, so thankful Gabe and Charlie were able to see Grandpa and he was able to see them.
