Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Sondra, Jonathan and Grandpa




Grandpa meeting Jonathan for the first time.

Today my Grandpa Henry turned 89 years old. We visited him on Tuesday and he seemed to kind of know who we were, which is amazing. Grandpa suffers from Alzheimers and has good days and bad, but mostly it seems he has bad days. It's so sad to see how fast this disease is stealing him from us. He seems to always respond to Andrew, and Grandma says if we lived closer she'd have us come every other day to get him to talk. And this was the first time he met Jonathan Henry. I don't know if he understands that Jonathan is named after him, but we know and that's what matters. Grandpa showed some interest in Jonathan and reached out to touch him. Jonathan slept the whole time we were there and never new we left the house. Maybe next time he'll be awake.
