My very sweet and very loved Papa (Grandpa) has had cancer for a while now and has been doing great but slowly getting weaker. He recently went into the hospital and after some tests they discovered that the cancer had spread everywhere, including his brain. So, he is now in a Hospice Hospital in a coma and they've given him a week. While it has been coming on slowly it was still a bit of a shock to us so we planned a super last minute trip to California to visit and say goodbye. Tammy drove down from Utah and from here we drove to California together. When we walked in we noticed that the quilt we made him a few months ago was on him keeping him cozy and warm. It was so hard to see him that way and say goodbye but we are glad we went. We were able to see my Grandma and give her some support for the very short time we were there. We also got to see our Great Uncle Jim and Aunt Dolores who I haven't seen in like 20 years. They have been such a huge support for my Grandma and we are so grateful.
This was the night my camera battery was dead so the 1st few pictures are from my other camera or from Tammy. We took a few pictures but not many (for obvious reasons).
Cali and Lily were both great while we were there. It was as if they knew it was a sad time and a quiet time. Cali kept pointing to Papa and watching him. It was very sweet.

This morning we went back over there briefly and I took some pictures of Cali and of my Grandma holding Cali. She was eating fruit snacks and waving at me and I just thought the look on her face was kinda funny in this one:
Cali wanted to be a big kid and sit on a chair like the adults:
