5' 18"

It's been a week since we buried "Gramps" Hansen. I don't really know why it has taken me so long to write about it. I think I just don't know what to say, except I am so proud of my family. They cared for him and loved him and honored him and allowed him to die with dignity. When I saw all of them and realized the work they had done and how they have struggled over the past few years to cope with his illness, I was so overwhelmed with love and pride, and so grateful that they are in my life. You can read about the big man, all 5' 18" of him, here.
