This was a typical trip to the hospital. Dad would need to get his weekly blood transfusion to keep him alive. Towards the end of his life it got harder for him to get to the hospital. He couldn't even get out of bed by himself anymore. We would have a transport company take him to the hospital and he would stay overnight for his transfusion. Mom never left his side. She took care of him and did everything for him. I know that he survived as long as he did because of the unconditional love she had for him.

This picture was taken at Alta View Hospital which was not very far from our home. Dad was out cold for almost two days. It was nice to see him sleeping so peacefully. Jayden, Rhett and Christian were giving him a giant love. The boys loved their Grandpa Rose so much. We felt so blessed that we were able to live under the same roof for the last five years together.
