Today is a sad day. Abbey and Matt moved to CA today. Matt's parents flew in Tuesday and they and my parents are helping Matt and Sister move this weekend. So my mom made a great dinner last night for the whole crew. So after dinner I walked Gramps home and we had the following conversation:
Gramps: "What are you going to do when Abbey leaves tomorrow? She is your best friend so I'll bet this will be sad"
(at this point I'm thinking... yeah Grandpa, way to be sensitive)
Me: "Yeah, I will definately miss her... don't know what I will do without her"
Gramps: "Well now that she is married, she has a new best friend"
Me: " I know, but Matt is going to have to share her with me"
(this is where I thought Grandpa would agree with me and take the supportive role that he should... instead he said the following...)
Gramps: "You know if you don't get married, you're just going to be all alone"
Oh to be 86 and not have to worry about what you say... or remember it for that matter. Love him.

(yet another fantastic article on preparing for marriage. You'll looooovvvveee it!).
Don't worry Kate my 94 year old grandpa is always being sensitive and supportive when he tells me about how a need to lose a few pounds...I think when you hit a certain age you don't care any more you just say it. How would it be???
Oh man... got to love our gramps eh? He sure knows how to say the right thing...NOT! He told me something along the lines that I should get those babies here! Lol, love him to!
Ha ha... I love your grandpa. What a character. No worries... I'm sure Matt will be nice and share your sis with you :)
