 After we ate at Tia Rosas we went to see Grandpa Cook in hospice. Grandpa would open his eyes every once in a while.  He had moments of rallying and then would go back to a deep sleep.  Landon and Taylor said " We love you"-to him and he answered with low audible voice "I love you too".  We all loved that.

When he was awake we would give him sips of water, he always wanted more.  We enjoyed our last few days with him. I have always remembered Dad as never saying anything unkind about anyone and asking about each member of our family if they were not around.  Later in his life he would tell me about his health problems and would ask me about it as if I had the answer for him, because I'm a nurse.  Dad Cook was a good, kind man who was always close to the spirit of our Heavenly Father.  I am glad I knew him.

Grandpa did respond to Landon several times but was very weak


Landon wanted Grandpa to meet his girlfriend Taylor Palmer.  Taylor said to Grandpa it is very nice to meet you.  Grandpa had his eyes semi-open.
