A Humble Man

We're visiting with Grandy today...

at his final resting place.

We'll sing him some songs, and
place some flowers on his grave.

A humble flower for a humble man. Who loved his country, his God, and his family. And we love him.

Visiting with Grandy

Memorial Day weekend was a big celebration for our family. Neal's dad was born on Memorial Day and when he was alive he loved going to the Kinston Indian's baseball games. So for Memorial Day weekend we all went to the opening Kinston Indian's ball game in honor of Grandy. All of Neal's brothers and sisters were there. Even his sister that lives in Louisiana. We had a great time and after the game we went to Grandma's house and had a birthday party for Grandy. Then on Saturday we visited his grave and picked him "flowers" and sang some songs to him. It was very touching and our kids love visiting his grave.

We were all going to the beach afterwards. Emmy and Charles-Allen are hunting for the best flowers.

I think they've found them.

Happy Birthday Grandy! We love you!

Twas The Night Before Christmas

For the past couple of years Grandma and Grandy have spent the night with us "the night before Christmas", and Grandy would read two books before the kids went to bed and Santa came. He would read "T'was The Night Before Christmas" and "The Wondrous and True Story of Christmas" by Gordon B. Hinckley. It was awesome. This year Emmy has already asked who's going to read our stories to us. That's a good question. One we haven't answered yet. Grandy is going to be hard to replace, but I know whoever steps in that our dear sweet Grandy will still be there with us reading along and as always enjoying his grandkids. Merry Christmas to all...
