Layna's great grandpa, Pa Claude, was called home on the 16th of February after a very brief illness. It breaks my heart that she will not get to know him, for he was such a wonderful man. I am so glad that he got to see her, though, before he passed. We took her to see her grandparents and he was there too.
Today is his funeral, and it will be a very difficult day for the Anderson family. Layna's daddy (Bugz) was so close to his Pa and he has been taking this very hard. Pa was his best friend. He is devistated without him. It will take time, but he will be ok.
Layna has been a blessing to the whole family. If it hadn't been for her being passed around to all the family members (fought over who gets her next, actually) it might have been a little harder to deal with. It is amazing how one small child can make things heal faster.
Speaking of healing, Layna had a follow up yesterday. She is back on track growth wise. She weighed in at 9lb 2oz and measured 21 1/2" long. But the best news of all is that she no longer has a heart murmur! He listened twice and said he did not hear it at all. Bugz truly believes that Pa Claude got to Heaven and he told God that he wanted Layna healed.
She truly has a wonderful group of guardian angels watching over her from Heaven, including my mom. And I can't wait till we are all reunited once again. Oh what a day that will be!
R.I.P. Claude Anderson
