Tonight my mother, along with her two sisters, is flying across the Atlantic to bury her father. My grandfather umarl w spokoju or died in peace today, in a Polish hospital at 11am. Grazyna, Hania and Janka will be reunited their mother, Apolonia, who lost her beloved Stanislaw after 65 years of marriage. Just last month I witnessed my mother cry memories, overcome with emotions after visiting her parents in rural Poland. Her heartfelt account of their love brought me to tears. Not since 1975 have the three sisters been together in the same room of 10 Rocky Lane with their mother. Four Karwowski women, a mother with her three daughters. Tomorrow it will be a homecoming of sorts for them filled with emotions I can only imagine as it will be without Stanislaw.  Stanislaw, Jay and my father. Poland. August 2008The man who was always smiling. I am forever grateful that my three children were able to witness his laughter last summer. Kochama ciebie Dziadek Staszek. |

Huge hugs and so many prayers for your family in their travels, their memories and what lies ahead. There will be sadness but, there will also be joy.
Hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You've written a beautiful post.
Im sad to say that we immigrated to the USA when I was just 5 and so many of my memories of my grandfather are fuzzy. Had he moved to the US, like he really wanted to after a visit in the 80s, I would have know him better.
The fate of my grandmother is what worries me today. Will she stay in Poland alone? Or will her daughters convince her to come to the US. She is THE most stubborn lady. I worry about her.
Bardzo mi jest przykro i bedziemy sie modlic za twojego dziadziusia i cala rodzinke. My deepest sympathies to your entire family.

I will keep you all in my thoughts.

I read your comment about your concern for your Grandmother; I would feel the same way. What a hard decision for her to have to make at this stage of her life. BUT...I admit, I'm hoping she decides to come here. We would be so fortunate to have her.
Peace, love and prayers.
Hugs to you all.
((HUGS))
I hope your grandmother comes to the US so you can spend more time with her...
My Polish uncle, my grandmother's brother, had the same name.
May Our Lord give you peace, Pauline.

What a blessing that your children were able to spend some time with him last summer.
