Prior to June and on every Friday since June, Sarah has gone to a couple's home. Together C&B watch Sarah and take wonderful care of her - as though she were their own granddaughter. This morning at 5:30am I got a call that B (papa) passed away. This is completely unexpected and a true shock. B loved Sarah so much. I'd walk in and he'd say that he ( Read more... )

My grandpa passed away this afternoon (around 1:15 to be exact). He died at home, holding mom's hand, listening to Psalms. He went downhill quickly (like within less than 24 hours). I was shocked to read the email that he had passed. Everyone was in the process of moving him to an extended living home - so this was unexpected in a lot of ways. I ( Read more... )

YEAH - Grow baby girl grow!!
