On the Road Again

As mentioned in the previous post, we spent this past weekend in Florida with Pawpaw. 
A lot happened while we were gone, but I would have rather been no place else. 
Although, Terry did call me today & jokingly harassed (teased) me for missing the family trip to the mountains!! 
All my sisters & brother, & nieces, nephew, & grandparents (terry's parents)  were there. 
I know they had a wonderful time, & I hope that the next time it works out for us to go! 

I wish that we could go to Florida more than we do, but I am incredibly thankful for the times that we do get to go. 
I love my Pawpaw so much, & it breaks my heart  not knowing if  He will even be here, from visit to visit. :-(
If  there were any possible way, I could be there every single day... Trust me. I would. 
But for now, I soak in all the time that we have. 
Thank you for those of you that have been praying for him. 
He has lost over 40 lbs, he really struggles to eat as the cancer has spread to his throat,  he sleeps a lot, but  through it all, he keeps his joy, & I  really admire  him all the more for that. 

Pawpaw never complains, but instead finds ways to praise God through this cancer. 
How does one do that??
He is a man of incredible strength. No doubt. 


We spent pretty much all of our time this past weekend with Pawpaw. But there was one night that My Aunt  wanted to have dinner with him in honor of Father's day. So after we spent that particular morning/afternoon with Pawpaw , we took that evening while he was at dinner & met up with our Cousins Paul & Cheryl & then headed over to the beach.  

Every time we go see Pawpaw, we always look for ways to bless him while we are there. 
This time I feel like we were greatly accomplished in serving him! 
From taking him grocery shopping, to cleaning every room in his house, doing his laundry, re-organizing his pantry, sorting through his loose papers, we made it all happen. 
It felt so wonderful to be able to do so much for him, in the short amount of time we were there. 
I wish that we could do more, more often. 

Below are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend.
