He adds, “These last few months, 19 months, now that he’s been in hospice, it’s been a chance for our family to reflect…and then for the rest of the country and the world to really reflect on him. That’s been a really gratifying time.”
‘Physically limited’
Offering some insight into his grandad’s current health, Jason tells People in September 2024 that his grandad is “physically limited” and seldom leaves home.
“He has really physically diminished and can’t do much on his own. But he is emotionally engaged and still having experiences and laughing, loving.”
He says, “This is an important part” of his journey, “one that you don’t get to experience at any other time in your life except for the very end…And so in that way, I think this has been a really meaningful time for him.”
