We got home at 3 this morning. Yes, "A" still went to school, Jeff went to work, and "J" and I followed our regular Wednesday schedule with the addition of picking up the dog from the pet hotel first. It was a hard 12 hour drive home, especially for Jeff who did the lion's share of the driving. But, it was all worth the sacrifices we made to go pay our respects to Jeff's sweet Granny. She passed away on Friday night and we left Sunday evening after our welcome home celebration to drive all night to the pan handle to spend time with family and remember Lori. I wrote about Granddad and Granny in this post about our recent holiday trip. Praise God we saw Granny then after having not seen them since our wedding day and the boys got to meet her. Little did we know just 2 weeks later she'd be gone. We just wish the hello and goodbye weren't so close together! Here is a photo of Granny that was taken with our boys and Granddad during our trip.
She lit up around them and it made my heart happy to see the joy they brought her! Please pray for Granddad as he grieves and determines living arrangements. He and Granny had moved to Amarillo for the care she needed and he no longer wishes to remain there without her. We will miss you Granny, but we are so glad you are with Jesus!

I am so glad that your boys got to meet granny and that you were able to go down at Christmas. Praying for your family--lots of love, Jenny!
Granny looks so happy and at peace. I am so thankful that A and J got to meet her. Going back so soon for the celebration of her going home was a life lesson to the boys of the love and caring of family. They will remember the importance of family even though some might consider them too young for this truth. You are the perfect parents for these two blessed boys.
I'm sure that your visit meant a lot to Granny. Isn't it neat that the Lord allowed you to visit her at just the right time??? What a blessing! We'll be praying for you as this is a difficult time for you all.
