A week and a half after his accident, Grandpa Reed passed away on September 28th at 10pm. I don't think there was a moment over this past week that he didn't have a family member by his side. On Tuesday night, they were all able to witness a miracle as Grandpa woke up and begin to act like his old self again. Since he suffered from alzheimer's, he often called everyone Peggy Sue and asked the same questions over and over. For a brief time, he was able remember names, express his love for everyone, and crack jokes. I'm sad that we were unable to be there for that, but Devin and I will cherish all our memories with Grandpa Reed, especially our trip back to Arkansas with him in May. His funeral will be on Thursday and we are headed to Arkansas this weekend for another service and burial.
