As most of you know we've had a rough summer in our family. First, serious health issues with my brother, second the death of my grandpa, Papa Grover to the boys, thirdly the death of our infant niece, and then stomach viruses and strep throat in our home. Through all of this we've been reawakened to the fact that family is so important and life goes by so fast. I'm so thankful for a Grandpa that made sure his girls were in church and loved his family.
Jalyn periodically says that he misses Papa Grover and doesn't want to forget what he looks like. So I'm going to post some pictures of his funeral and family. Later I'll scan some old pictures in of him with the boys and other times.
Although it was very hard to be at his funeral I'm also so glad that I'll always have the memories and stories that were told about him. I love that the boys have memories of our family all together and the stories they told about Grandpa as we laughed, cryed, and joked while going through his personal things...his personal things...that's an entirely different post!!! I'll just mention a few things, belts, flags, knives, guns (all kinds), pipes, canes, I mentioned guns right? Because if you knew Grandpa you'd know I really can't mention weapons enough!!!! I know its strange but memories of weapons and Grandpa and that night with family looking through them all makes me smile and almost laugh....good memories.
Grandpa was so proud of being Native American, the United States, his service in the military, and his family. Thank you Grandpa for being proud of this and so much more and teaching us about them.
Thank you for your prayers for our family this summer....they were and continued to be cherished.
