Memories






As I was going through my mother-in-laws craft room today I came across these items. A few tears were shed today. 



Ginny and her boys

Ginny had been sitting in her chair all day. As we were all getting ready to leave she ask David and Kevin to help her get up. They ask her if she wanted to get in bed? Her answer to them was no I want to walk to see the sunshine. Not knowing at the time, but this was Ginny's last trip to the front doors of the hospital to see the sun. I was so happy Kevin ask me to video this to get these memories that they will have of them and their mom!

Schoolwork

We are doing schoolwork at the hospital! The blessing of homeschooling. You can do it anywhere!

Nightmare of a flight

Well we dropped the kids off at the airport to find out that their flight had been delayed an hour. We are thinking no big deal they will get something to eat and hang out for awhile. Well we were wrong 12 hours later their flight got cancelled. David went back to the airport to get their flights changed to a different airline. That flight doesn't fly out until noon, so they are back at Aunt Marcy's to try to get some sleep for their flight home. All I have to say is NEVER fly SPIRIT airlines. THEY SUCK!!

Jacob talking to Hailey. Emily trying to charge her phone and upset with the whole flight delay!

Ice cream makes anything better!

New airlines headed home!

Landed at LAX

Going to get the car! Headed home!

Colorado Rockies

We were able to catch a game in before the Jacob and Emily leave tomorrow back home. Thank you Rick for the tickets. Coors Field is amazing. This was a fun day!











Happy Birthday Cliff

Today is my brothers 40th Birthday! Hope you have a blessed day!

Ginny

Our visits with Ginny! Our kids our making lasting memories with their grandma. David is trying to get as much time with his mom as he can. Jacob and Emily are here until Monday night. David and I are staying for a week to help get everything finalized. Kevin is coming in from Baltimore to help us out. I have to say this is hard watching someone slowly slip away from you. It just shows that we have to cherish everyday as if it is our last. We are praying as the days to come that Ginny is not in a lot of pain. My last words are CANCER SUCKS!!!!

Colorado bound

We are in Colorado for a week! My mother-in-law was diagnosed with bladder cancer on April 8. We were hopeful that she would recover from this, but things have turned to the worst. Marcy called David last week and told him that if we want to see his mom while she can still talk and know who we are we better hurry up and get there. So here we are. We are going to try to have some fun as a family in this difficult time.

Hillsong



David got my tickets to Hillsong for Mother's Day! We are trying to enjoy this night before we fly out in the morning for a very long week of seeing David's mom maybe for the last time. We are making all of her final arrangements while we are there. Kevin is flying in too. This will probably be the last time all the kids are together while she is still living. At this point we are putting all of this in God's hands and he knows best.  This is a first for our family. A first for one of us to lose a parent and our kids to lose a grandparent. Please pray for us as we face this next week.
