The Simpson Family Saga: Home to Idaho

Goodbye

My dad passed away in January this year 2 weeks before my mom's birthday. He had become sick quickly starting in August. He was sent to La Jolla to have surgery for Appendiceal Cancer. The surgery was successful and doctors expected him to pull through and recover. However, he developed an infection which caused his kidneys to fail and eventually took his life 7 days after surgery.
I flew to California to be with my mom while he was recovering in the ICU. My mom didn't tell me until I stepped off the plane that he was going to die that day. I walked into his hospital room and within the next 15-20 minutes he passed away. This was truely the worst day of my life and I will miss him sooo much. He will always be in my heart!

Home to Idaho

Today I am going home to visit my mom and help her repaint while they are installing new carpet in her house. It will be a fun project if I can keep Kade under control. Knowing Kade he will be stripping down to his diaper and rolling around in the paint buckets so I will have to keep a close watch on that child! Wish me luck with my projects this week!

Last memory with Grandpa

On December 29th just after christmas Grandpa wanted to take Kade sledding in his new sled that he got him for Christmas. Grandpa was feeling pretty good this day and felt up to bearing the cold and going out for some fun. First we sled around the icy streets and then headed over to the park where we sled down the big snow bank. Even Grandpa went down on the sled! Kade had so much fun. We took a lot of pictures and joked about how Grandpa needed to get better soon so he could take Kade again when he was older. We will miss you Grandpa Kade loved you sooooooo much.
