The Greats

While in Utah we got to see my Grandma and Grandpa H* and Mike's Grandma R*. For how often we visit Utah and considering our granparent's age and health, we never know if we will see them again. So it is a treasure to sit and visit them for a while. I marvel at the tremendous lives they have lived.

Grandma H*

who lives in a care center after she fell down the stairs in her home and broke her neck


Grandpa H*

who lives at his long time home and still works hard in his garden

In the case of visiting my grandpa, it was especially neat to see my children doing the same things I did as a little kid -

go where I wasn't suppose to go


wonder what was inside that shed
sit on that brick wall for family pictures.
The circle of life. Very neat to witness.
