It has been almost a year since my grandpa passed away.
Two years ago in October my grandpa was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Soon after he was diagnosed my family flew down to Texas to say goodbye, as we weren't sure how long he would have left.
Thankfully, God allowed him to live another year which was such a blessing.

It was such a blessing to be able to have a year that we didn't think we would have.
To have a year to make it a point to call him and talk to him more often.
To have a year to write him a letter telling him how much I loved him and how lucky I was to have him as a grandpa.
My grandpa was an amazing man. One of the greatest things that I admire about him was that he was a man of prayer. My dad spend a lot of time with him during his last year and was able to spend many nights with him.
I learned that each night my grandpa would spend time praying for every member of his family.
And not just listing names, but praying for our specific needs and struggles we were going through.
He knew what we were going through and knew that one of the best ways to love us was to lift us up in prayer.
About a year and a half ago, Chris and I started praying together every night. We too lift up our families, friends and our own needs and struggles. We have yet to miss a night of praying together.
Part of me is sad that my grandpa isn't here for me to tell him when I do get pregnant, as I know that he prayed that for us every night. But I know one of his prayers is being answered, that Chris and I continue to grow in our marriage and grow closer to God.

I think of my grandpa all the time and am so thankful for the example and legacy that he left.
And I'm so thankful for that extra year we had with him so I could tell him that.
I'm so thankful that I have no doubts that right now he talking to God face to face.

I know he would be so proud of Chris and the man of prayer that he has become.
