We took the kids to visit their Great Grand Pappy at his assisted living home on Sunday after church. This is my (Loran) dad's father. He has been going through some rough weeks recently as his body is beginning to grow tired. He has prostate cancer that has unfortunately spread to his bones, but they have been able to manage his pain quite well with medicine. His outlook and spirit are remarkable as he is an inspiration to us all!! Rob and I try to make regular visits to all of our grandparents now that we are living so close to them. They love seeing the children and I know it brightens their day as it does ours to see them smile! Great grand Pappy is a retired Baptist minister and has lived a full life. We all get a chuckle at some of the comments and memories that come up during conversations we have with him. Some days we are just thrilled that he remembers our faces and that we are family. Others the thoughts and memories are crystal clear. It is funny how the aging mind works. I have said on several occassions that I am already having senior moments, but I think it might just be the "mommy" brain of having 2 babies under 2:) These pictures below are of our visit.
