Springfield




Jean-Paul's dad, Papa to our kids, is not doing well. We headed to Springfield to visit with him and to check on his mom. If you were to Google "the natural process of dying" you may come across many lists of what to expect...yet it does not prepare you.

Papa is 84...he is a neurologist, a husband, a father, a grandfather...he has an amazing story. He is tired.

Saturday night after dinner we took a walk by the lake across the street from Papa and Meme's house. The same house that Jean-Paul moved into when he was not even one. It is a very special place to be...it is where Papa wants to die.

It was a nice to be at home with Papa.
