If you don't already know, my grandfather, Papa Frank, passed away yesterday morning. He just celebrated his 90th birthday last month and we are so grateful we could make it home to NY to be there with him. He died in his sleep and he lived each day just as he pleased. It was very peaceful.
Last night Tovah had a Fall Festival at her school, so we decided it would be best to wait until tonight to tell the girls about Papa's passing. When we pulled into the driveway after the festival, Tovah got out and looked at the stars. She told us the stars looked like they were shining extra brightly tonight and it reminded her of Heaven. Remember, we haven't told her anything yet. She is so in tune with things. Please keep the girls in your prayers. They were so very close to Papa and spent time with him every day until we moved. This won't be easy and it is hard for me to look in their eyes and know that I will cause them pain by telling them. I know it will break Tovah's heart, but I also know that she has such a good sense of Heaven and God's will for all of us. I read in a book this morning that this life is not the last painting. I am at peace knowing that Papa is surrounded by beauty and love.
