Jim is traveling this week to be with them. They are in their 90's, have been married for 75 years and have two sons Jim and Bob. Though they are technically my step-grandparents, they have been a steadfast part of my life as long as I can remember. Grandma was always so wonderful at sending cards and letters and never once made me feel as if I was not her real granddaughter. They live in Michigan and we weren't blessed with a lot of time with them but they were somehow always so close to us in spirit. I remember how Grandma used to get a kick out of telling funny jokes and playing UNO with us. As a kid I remember bragging to my friends that my Grandparents took disco dance lessons! In their sixties no less! The thing I remember most about the time I spent around Grandpa is the sturdy smile that accompanied his laugh.
Nice memories. I have this photo so that my children can know them a little bit too, their great-grandparents.
A little prayer for Jim too. Be safe and Godspeed.
