I called a short time ago to wish my grandfather a happy birthday, but he was too tired to pick up the phone. My grandmother told me that he had his head in his hands. It made my heart hurt a little to think how quickly he tires these days. In a few short weeks I’m going to be there sitting next to him. My mother has warned me about how much he is slowing down and that there are changes that I need to prepare myself for. The following images were taken two summers ago. I am so thankful that I dragged myself out of bed that morning to meet him at the barber shop. I know he was just as happy to have me there too. XO
