He hasn't been in too much discomfort yet, though they anticipate that that will change.
When we received the news, my initial thought was that my wife would be going to VA while I stayed back with the kids.
The boy was adamant even though I told him that it would be hard to witness and that his grandpa would be in even rougher shape than only a couple weeks earlier. Poor kid has had a crash course with death lately, losing three pets over two years, and now his grandpa.
Then the wife pipes up and says that she'd really like me to come, too, because it would be a trying time for her. So yeah, since I couldn't leave the three year old behind, that made all of us.
