Thanks everyone! It really was a fun time. My mil caught the bouquet...I think. And she sealed it with a kiss all right, and over and over again while she was sitting on the couch with "him" lol. She cracks me up.
My husband didn't write the sermon, I printed it up off from a marriage site, lol. Although Grandpa always has wanted Jason to be a pastor, lol.
Grandma, Lisa's mom, died about 7 years ago now of alzheimers. She had it for 20 years. I have known Jason for 15 years, and she was quite far gone when I met her. Grandpa took care of her till the day she died, refused to put her in a home, and did great with her. Along with that, he raised Lisa too. He taught her to write and she can read at about an early first grade level. So since last fall we had been taking care of him since he had developed dimentia as a result of poor heart function. He passed away at home in Jan while my husband and I were caring for him. He always made us promise he wouldn't go into a home. He deserved to be well taken care of. He carried grandma to their bed every night until just about a year before she died. Just thinking about it makes me cry. They were married 63 years. I just loved him so much and he wanted the world for Lisa, so this was the least we could do. He demonstrated the ultimate in unconditional love in his marriage and in the way he took care of Lisa. I am so blessed to have known him and to have a husband that is so much like him.
