Great Grandpa

This picture is so special to me! Recently, my grandfather has had some health issues. He spent 7 days in the hospital after getting a portion of his colon removed. The outcome was good as the polyp on his colon was in a pre-cancerous state. As with anyone, it is always hard to see someone you love in the hospital, out of the norm of what you are used to. But it caused me to reflect, and every time I see this picture the same thoughts roll through my mind. I feel so incredibly blessed by my grandparents, and even more gracious as I have kids, that they are growing up to know them and develop relationships with them. It is such an indescribable feeling to see Daisy form an attachment to my grandpa, her great grandpa. This particular day he was holding her head up next to his ear, so that she could hear the high pitch ring that his hearing aid makes. Simple. But she kept coming back for more and had such an attraction to him from then on. It was cute. I love how I know without a doubt how much my grandparents love my husband and I, but even more I love how much I know they love our kids. I have some great memories from my childhood and spending time with my great grandparents and I am so happy that my kids have the opportunity to develop memories with theirs! I love you grandpa and grandma! Thank you for your example of love to my family....you are truly treasured!!
