I decided that I would not take precious days that Bill was able to spend with his kids in Ohio away from him so I didn't make it to the funeral.  Part of me feels like shit for missing my grandpa's funeral but deep down, I know that I was there when he really needed me.  He's with my grandma and my mom now and that's exactly where he's wanted to be for a long time.  During our drive home on Thursday, we stopped in West Virginia and picked up a nice slab of slate from the side of a mountain that I am having engraved with "West Virginia" to place near them.  Both my grandparents are from West Virginia and now they'll have a small piece of it near them always. 

 

Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
