Trevor and my dad have a special relationship. Whenever Trevor would come to see Grandpa, my dad's eyes would light up. When he was in the ICU- he was out of it and Trevor walked in. When he saw Trevor his eyes lite up and he said, "TREVOR!!" then he looked at his nurse and said, "This is my grandson Trevor, he is really good at football!" The coincidence was dad's nurse's name was Trevor also and he played football for Snow Canyon years ago. Dad always loved when Trevor would come and spend time with him. Dad told me that he sees a lot of himself in Trevor, not only his height, coloring and body type, but his shyness and humbleness.
Trevor loved to talk surfing and football with dad.
When Trevor arrived on Saturday night, he came over to my dad and whispered in his ear and said, "Grandpa, it's me Trevor!" My dad turned his head towards his voice and opened his mouth as to say something to him. We were all surprised to see dad's reaction to Trevor's voice. Trevor's heart was broken, he LOVES his grandpa soo much and can't believe that this SUPERMAN of a grandpa was on his deathbed. Trevor always loved to hold grandpa's hand. I have pictures from the ICU, Acute Rehab and here, it says so much about the love they shared.
On Sunday, Trevor went with my mom back to the house to get things that she needed.
When he came back he was surprised to see his best friend, Navy and his mom and sister there to see Grandpa. They embraced and some tears were shed. My dad reached out for Navy when he was talking to him and squeezed his hand. My friend Echo (Navy's mom) talked to my dad and asked him to find her brother, Adam and tell him that she loves and misses him. (I know that my dad found him, because my dad knew him and attended his funeral. They use to lift weights together.)
