Welp, what a weekend.

Grandma came to visit.

Of course, Grandpa couldn’t come, in the state he is in…

It’s significant because the last time Grandma or Grandpa were in Lubbock was when T was born. 😳

I mean, that was over four years ago!

An old family friend (Randy) drove down and stayed with Grandpa while Grandma came to see us.

I drove to Eden to get her.

Getting older and caring for grandpa 24/7, she looked more tired and frail than usual.

She needed a break.

We showed her all the changes to the house we have done, showed her Pop and Gammies house, took her out to eat a bunch, and spent hours and hours just visiting.

We even took her to church.

It was a nice visit and especially nice to see her here.

Honestly, I can’t believe, my mom is 75.

And my dad is 80 – fighting advanced Parkinson’s.

On my way back to drop her off in Eden, we held hands for a while in the car while we talked.

It made me start to cry thinking about the shortness of life.

We are constantly losing everyone around us, aren’t we?

I already miss 2-year-old T, 4-year-old K, and 6-year-old H.

Deep breath.

I love you.
