Dear Emma,
Grandpa spoke to Pa Pa Sandy’s doctor today. He told him he had a lot of enlarged lymph nodes. Grandpa will go to the doctor with him tomorrow. He will need a biopsy, but it doesn’t look good. Pa Pa is 96. On the one hand. It is to be expected but seeing him like this is sad. It would be hard for grandma.

Something about him dying and grandma being gone feels so sad to me. I hate that I cannot be there to help out and just be by his side. I wish it were easier for me to go back and forth and get around independently, but it isn’t. Plus, you just started kindergarten and Ericsito is in school and I can’t be in two places at once.
I wonder if you will remember him when you are older. I was almost 13 when Grandma Bertha died. I remember her, but barely. You took out some of your chocolates and put them in a plastic bag and said you wanted to send them to Pa Pa Sandy. When I was in sleep-away camp, he used to send me letters with a stick of Wrigley’s chewing gum inside. I’m pretty sure he did the same thing when grandma was in camp. I have been thinking about different memories like that more and more lately.
Love,
Dad
