{Dad}

Warren Gail Shaw, the best husband, dad, grandpa, brother, son and uncle, my dad, passed away this afternoon about 1:30. He was diagnosed with cancer about 4 months ago and developed complications with his lungs due to the cancer and chemo. He has been pretty sick for the past few weeks, but when he decided it was time to go, he didn't wait around. He has always been that way. Don't make him wait for you lol. Mom had called me this morning and I was planning to come home from work, pack and head to Salina. He couldn't wait for us. We believe there was a grand reunion in heaven though. His mom died when he was just a baby. We believe she came to get him. We know and understand that he is happy, but it sure is hard for those he left behind. I'm so thankful to know that I will be able to be with him again someday. In the meantime we already miss him something horrible.

Happy Birthday G-ma!

On June 30th G-ma turned 101. Wow. I've had the opportunity to go be with her and Rick while dad was in the hospital in Provo. For the most part she was very pleasant and funny. One night she got angry over something but Rick was able to calm her down. Because her mind is like a child she will be happy one moment and angry the next. She sleeps a lot also. I will treasure the time I have spent with her, and Rick. We love you G-ma.
