Sorry it's been a while since I last blogged. Jim's granddad, James William "Bill" Robertson, passed away on July 29th at Baptist Hospital. At least to me and Jim, this was quite unexpected. He went in to the hospital on July 26th to have what we knew was a risky surgery, but we thought in the usual granddad fashion he would pull out of it no problem. That wasn't the case. He put up a good fight, but God had other plans for him. The visitation was on Tuesday and the funeral was on Wednesday. Everything was very nice and uplifting. He was an amazing man and he will be missed.
Some things I will remember about granddad...
*His love for God, family and friends*His laugh
*Googling jokes and sharing them with everyone...he loved telling jokes and making people laugh
*Jim and I gave him a coffee mug we painted for Christmas about 2 years ago. We found out he drank out of it everyday!
*The first meal he made for me and Jim after his wife, Virginia, passed away in 2005
If you have memories of granddad, we'd love for you to share them with us! Here he is below with his coffee mug!
