"When we have sampled much and have wandered far...our gratitude grows for the privilege of being part of something we can count on- home and family and the loyalty of loved ones... We learn that nothing can fully take the place of the blessed relationship of family life." Thomas S. Monson
Grandpa wanted to give the kids their guns which he has given the other grand kids when they turn 12 years old, but Grandpa wanted to be here for it! So we will tuck them away until they are twelve and have taken hunter safety.
The kids got to see Grandpa whom they haven't seen for months, because of his cancer which affects the immune system, they haven't got to be around him very often the last 4 years. It was a tender moment seeing him with them.
This was also the visit were he got to see his dog whom he loves. It was bitter sweet, and made Dad nervous that Zing was going to hurt his belly or legs or trip him. So Dad asked if we would take him and keep him. Heart stopping moment considering that they have been inseparable for I think it's been 9 years.
Interesting how Cancer changes many things....
