Pre Astrid 2019
January had some highs but also some lows. We found out a couple of years ago that my grandpa had had cancer for decades and his body was finally giving in. There were multiple times when we lived in Utah and even after we moved to Boston that we thought Grandpa was going to pass away. After I got pregnant I started feeling that he was going to pass away after I would be too pregnant to travel and that I was going to miss his funeral. I chalked that up to the pregnancy hormones though always looking for worst case scenarios. We had planned to go to the temple on a Saturday in January, our last time going together before Astrid, and they also made some changes at the temple in January 2019 that we were excited to see/hear. The morning we planned to go I got the call from my mom that Grandpa had died. I was devastated and didn't want to do anything that day. But we ended up going to the temple anyway and I'm so glad we did. It was a very spiritual experience and all of the change
