Sprinkler system for Grandpa Barney











My sweet grandpa Barney passed away this August, and before his passing he had us grandkids put in a sprinkling system. Randen, Trent, Danny, and I (being the only girl) were able to get Grandpas sprinkler system system in just before he passed away. He knew for sometime that his cancer was terminal and that he would soon be ending this journey and embarking on another one, but before he did he wanted to make sure that Grandma was taken care of in as many ways as he knew how to. One of them was for her not to have to drag the hose all over the yard and in the flower beds, after he passed on. Trent worked very hard on it for a few days, and as we saw Grandpa getting sicker almost a week before his passing we made a promise to him one day that we would have the sprinkler system in and working, so that he could see it up, and running to help put his mind at ease! We got it working around 7 pm. Randen and Danny carried him out on a chair, as we turned the sprinkler system system on, his face lit up brighter than anything I have ever seen before!
