Aaron and I took the kids to my Sister's house and went to lunch with my Grandma who has just moved into an assisted living home. It was nice to visit with her (even if some of what she said was repetitive) and play cards with her. She is such a sweet, wise, confident woman who has been a huge influence throughout my life. Every time I see her she reminds me how I used to cuddle with her after her husband (my Grandpa) died when I was one year old. She also reminds me that I was born saying "Me do myself!" And she has the same sort of attitude in life. Its a little hard to see her depending so much on others for her basic needs and slowing down so much, but she still has the same happy spirit and is always a joy to be with. After our four hour visit flew by, we went back to my Sister's house in Roy to get the kids and I went on a bike ride with my sister. She went out with me for almost an hour but had to turn around and head home while I rode the Legacy trail all the way back to Aaron's sister's home in NSL, probably about 30 miles in all. |
