Our company was accepted into a program called Y Combinator (YC) late last year. Joining YC meant moving back to California for a few months at the beginning of this year. About the time we made it to California we learned that my grandpa had heart failure. The news at first was scary, but we learned that it's quite possible to live with heart failure for a long time. We have actually known quite a few people that lived 10+ years with heart failure. How I wish that was the case!

Regardless, one of the reasons I was really excited about being back in California was the opportunity to visit with my grandparents every week. For the last 3 months we have been going out to visit them every Sunday. I'm so glad that my kids were able to spend that time with them. Tanner is 4.5 years old and will likely have memories of my grandpa. Addie is 2 years old, but will have many pictures to look back on. A few weeks ago I recall commenting to Jill that I was really happy to be visiting my grandparents because our time here could be the last time we'd see them.

I am so thankful that God orchestrated events in such a way that we were given this time with my grandparents.
