Cleaning Out Grandma's House

Today I was planning on assisting in the five year olds' Sunday school room.  Since the lead teacher became ill yesterday, I was asked to be the lead teacher today.  Then I went to service and sat with my friend (Kelly) and her husband.

This afternoon I briefly visited grandma in her long term care facility.  I always try to hold her hand and rub a finger over it too.  Becky and her boys happened to be there too.

Becky, Chris, Davida, and I looked through grandma's stuff at her house and determine what we wanted to keep.  I will now have more reminders at home of my wonderful grandparents. Tonight I enjoyed reading over some of the thank you notes that I had written to my grandparents over the years.  It was a reminder of so many thoughtful things they had done for me and given me over the years.  I also remembered the time when grandpa and I were both in the hospital at the same time.  I'm thankful that my grandparents treasured these notes from me.  I will miss grandma's house primarily because it was a place where I had created fond memories over the years with very special people.  I'm so thankful that my grandparents lived close and were always actively involved in my life.
