dear friends' girls...and I felt jealousy! What was I jealous about? There
were great-grandparents there celebrating, too!! That made me miss my grandma
and grandpa, and even more it made me wish they could be here now, seeing
my children as they grow. Since we moved to Mississippi, every once in awhile,
it hits me! Wow, we live in Mississippi!...and wow! those ole' days are really
'ole days, meaning...the days of going to my Grandma and Grandpa's house
are days that live in my memory! You know that in your head, but sometimes
the translations to your heart come in waves (for me anyways!). Regardless
of if my grandparents were still living, we would still live in Mississippi following
where God has called us to and unable to see them as much as we wish -- but when I see great grandparents at celebrations like I did yesterday, it made me miss my growing up days. Isn't
it crazy how those days seemed normal and like they would last forever. Then,
you become an adult and you realize, seriously?!! those days don't last forever.
A reminder for these special days we spend with our little ones and now our extended
family....live every moment. The only pictures I could find of my grandmother (sadly
we didn't put our pictures digitally when my grandpa was living), were off of my
shutterfly account...so that's why it looks the way it does (she wouldn't like the pictures
I posted with her oxygen tubing :), but I wanted to put them on anyways!) -- these are
some of the last pictures I have of my dear grandmother....so many good memories with
her and grandpa!
Well, we've been busy the last month, so I have a lot more posts to
catch up on, but this was on my heart today. I just needed to share!
Thanks for listening and remembering my Grandma and Grandpa today!
As always, thanks for stopping, more coming!
Love,
Kendra
