Saying Goodbye

During my two weeks in Ohio with Brad in May, we were able to spend Memorial Day weekend with my maternal grandparents in my hometown of Findlay, OH. Grandpa Reamsnyder wasn't at his best when we visited... he had recently taken a small fall and couldn't walk or do too much on his own.

He is a man I've always loved and looked up to. He fought for our country with the USCG as well as the Army in WWII. He was one of the first to land in Okinawa. He had a great time telling Brad stories from his time there, show him 'souvenirs' he took from Japanese soldiers, and weapons he used to defend himself. Needless to say, my husband was in awe and fascinated the first time meeting my Grandpa shortly after we were married in August 2011.

It's hard saying goodbye to family, but I know he's in a better place now.

Love you, Grandpa.
