POTP for our Grandpa

January 26, 2015 by Millie & Walter

Hi everyone it’s Millie & Walter here. We have been absent from Blogville for the past week because our mom has been away from home most of the day everyday (and she doesn’t work!). Some of you may have heard from the POTP blog that our Grandpa is very sick. We thought we would give you a brief update and maybe for some of you this would be the first you are hearing of it.

Grandpa your moustache tickles!

Our Grandpa was admitted to the hospital a week ago and our mom has been spending her days visiting with him and family. At first it appeared to be a recurrence of the internal bleeding he suffered in September but it was discovered he has very advanced terminal cancer.

A kiss for Grandpa

Today he was moved to hospice care at the Leo Center for Caring a part of the St. Ann’s Community. Our mom says this is a wonderful facility and it is the perfect place for what our Grandpa needs right now. Mom says that pets are allowed to visit but she doesn’t think we have the right manners for a visit and that Grandpa is very fragile at this time.

Please cross your paws and keep our Grandpa and our family in your thoughts and prayers. We love our Grandpa very much and are very sad that we will never be able to see him again.

Mom is trying to read your blogs and says it has been a good distraction from all the chaos and sadness of this past week but hasn’t been able to comment much since she is reading on her Kindle. Thank you all for your understanding of our absence at this time.
