Just need to put this somewhere :(

My grandpa passed away pretty suddenly last night. He was diagnosed with several cancers 2 weeks before Christmas and due to being nearly 93 chose not to treat it. We had a great family Christmas that our entire family made it to and hired a photographer to do family pictures so we got a lot of amazing shots that day that we are so grateful for, and he was still looking and feeling good that day.
I say suddenly even though he had a diagnosis because his health declined so fast and no one expected it last night.
Today I went and visited my aunts and when I walked in and hugged one the first thing she did was put her hand on my belly and tell me how much grandpa would have loved to meet the new one, and so happy he did get some time with my 18 month old. It's all I've been thinking about lately, because when I called to tell him I was pregnant he was quite excited to be able to say he'll have 14 great grandchildren.
I made and ordered a Shutterfly album that I was going to take to him when it came in, and while it should any time in the next few days or so, it is going to be hard when I get it now.
Just needed to let that out. Will be off from here (and there..) more than normal for a little bit.

I'm so sorry for your loss! My grandmother was given just a couple months to live a few days before Christmas a year ago, but wound up passing on January 4th. Our family is very close and we were lucky that everyone could visit her almost daily, but she already couldn't leave her bedroom by Christmas Day and so we didn't get to have our last Christmas with her. You are so lucky that you had that experience.
Could you ask your husband or partner to get the mail every day until the photobook arrives and then to hide it until you're ready to see it?

@effthisnoise I think I will be fine to see it, it's the anticipation of having it come in the mail that I think is worse right now, he just got moved into a home on Sunday so it was going to be my 'housewarming gift' as I joked, and I can't believe it wasn't going to be fast enough.
My grandma/his wife suffered from dementia for YEARS and was so hard, and I truly think he wasn't going to go through that or put anyone through that again.
We had already decided that if it's a girl the middle name will be his wife's, as it's also one of my middle names. So as hard core team green as I am, I'm almost curious now (oh, my A/S is Monday and the funeral is probably Tuesday). Haven't brought that up with H yet, it's a lot to think about myself right now.
I'll be thinking of you and your family during such a difficult time.

Funeral got booked for Monday after my A/S. It's going to be very emotional, but I really, really want to see baby (this will be the first time since 8 week blob confirmation) before the final thing. To me it seems like they'll still get to 'meet', if that makes any sense.
