POP

The phone call came yesterday,
Pop Kouns finally had enough of battling his body and went home.

It was not a sudden thing....its been years. But, it's still hard. And sad. Not only because he is my grandfather but since Grandma is gone too, he was the last connection to Omie Circle & Orange Beach.

I've found that I am a very sentimental person. Family is HUGE to me. And, the places where memories have been made with family mean a great deal to me as well. I know the people are what are important and I have my memories and pictures of them. But, the real thing is SO much better! And, it is sad to me that my kids are so little and won't get to experience the fun that came with 'going to Omie Circle' anymore. Granted what...really WHO made it fun...well, they aren't there anymore so really it is just a house. With my memories.

AND

As Brooklyn said last night, through her tears...

we will see them again when it is our turn to go to Heaven.
