Family

8.26.2011

After spending 3 days in one house with over 19 other family members, this past week was just too quiet for me.  I know my family didn't come together under one roof for the happiest of reasons, but still I miss the commotion, I miss the constant activity, I miss having other adults around all day everyday. 





When I was younger I wanted to write a book. A book about my entire extended family on my mom's side staying in one huge cottage that we all rented for Christmas.  I never did write that book but part of me has started thinking about writing it again.  Most of the story would be fictional but the personalities and traits of my different family members would hopefully be true to who they really are. I think it would be a fun project to tackle.

After experiencing the loss of my Grandma over 5 years ago and now her hubby {my Grandpa} last week....I feel like writing something that allows my kids to know who my Grandparents where. They were both very special people in my life and I'm very sad that my kids will not get to grow up with these two great people in there life like my bro,cousins and I did. 



One of the very very few photos I have of Kaylin and her Great Grandpa. I love this photo even if Kaylin doesn't look to happy!!

He will be missed.....

I kindly request prayers for my family today.  I got a very un-wanted early morning phone call today that has my emotions all over the place.  In some ways the news is good....I know my Grandpa is now without pain, suffering, sickness and any anguish that he felt the last few months of his life, but i'm also grieving the death of someone who was very special to me. It's sad to think never again will I watch him take beautiful pictures of his family/friends with pride and honor, never again will I see him get all excited about a good hockey or baseball game,........no more home made spices, sauces or chicken soups will be made by him without a single recipe being followed, no more Grandpa hugs and kisses will be given and most importantly gone are the days of him sharing wise and knowledgeable words about the Lord.  He was a giving man, a man of integrity, and he was like a Grandfather/Father to those in his church family as well.   






Grandpa and my little little Kaylin


I was very blessed and proud to be his Granddaughter! 


Here is a picture of a card I had all ready to mail to him this week...my daughter colored it and I thought it would make him smile...
