Changes
Wow, I just read my last entry. Exactly one month after I wrote it at 2 pm my father went to his heavenly home. He was diagnosed with cancer on June 21, 2006 and passed away Feb. 28th, 2007. 8 months.
The weird part is it is all just hitting me now.
What else could I have said? What else could I have done?? What breaks my heart the most is the idea that he is missing all of the amazing things that I get to enjoy with Caleb. He deserved to enjoy being a grandfather for longer than he did.
Caleb tells me that he still plays with grandpa and that grandpa feels better now, he even told me about a baby that wears white socks that lives in heaven with grandpa. When I told my mom what he said, she told me she had a miscarriage before Chris and I. She told my Dad she was pregnant by giving him a pair of white booties. So who knows, I guess he still is being an amazing grandfather.
In the end, Love your family. Tell them often and treasure memories and continue to make new ones. Love you all!!

First of all, you're Schneider? I'll have to get used to this. Clearly, Caleb is the gravity in your world. You're a beautiful mom. How strange, the bit about the white socks. I have a wide streak of skepticism, but that story, at least, makes me hope that quite possibly, heaven could be true. I'm glad you're writing and posting. It's about time.
