To Grandma's home we go!

Kori and I made an impromptu visit to Grandma's home today.  When we got there she was having a little after-lunch snooze but her eyes popped open and she got herself up and shoes on for our visit.  We talked about her roommate, the kids, the meals, the weather, the usual.  As always, I was so glad that I had gone to see her.  Our family has been blessed with close connections, good relationship, lots of family events and faspa (4pm light dinner) and huge gatherings my entire life.  So so so blessed by the work this family has done to stay connected!  I love you my Grandma!
Always one more kiss for the road!  I started this when my babies were little and Grandma was living at Carriage Lane.  The kids and I would say our good-byes and give our kisses, then I'd get them all strapped into their carseats and run back across the sidewalk to where Grandma would stand watching from her sliding door in the kitchen.  She would break into a smile as I jogged over and would say, "One last kiss... for the road..." and give her a kiss on her super-soft cheek.  Always.  And then one more kiss and I would run back to the van and wave and drive away.   I love this woman.  She is a prayer warrior, she has a heart for God that is solid and fixed and knows that she knows that she knows that God is faithful.  I am so thankful for Grandma M.  Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with this strong woman of good character.
