I've been thinking about Don a lot this weekend. I planned to do this post, back in April...this is a book we got from a sale at David's office, back in March. I was going to mail it to Pa, but decided to bring it when we came for our visit for my mom's birthday, on April 9th...I wish I had mailed it! We listened to it a lot when we got home from Florida. We had Grandpa Sutton read it to the kids, before they left from their visit with us last month. I'm missing Don today...and my dad, who never got to be a Grandpa (I was thinking about how much he would have liked my kids, while I was having a moment this morning at church...my dad would have been 61 this year...it's been 14 years since he died of a heart attack at 46, in 1994--he didn't make it to his birthday that year, in case you're questioning my math skills!), and my Grampy... but life goes on and the living need to keep on pressing on (I just read that in my Bible study this morning). It's nice to remember, as long as we don't dwell there too long. Here's to you Pa...THANK YOU for being such a special part of my life and for loving my kids so much...we miss you. Daniel still points to your picture and says, "Pa!" and Ashley mentions you sometimes, but she gets upset, as she is still trying to figure it all out. We wish we had more time with you, but we're thankful for the memories. WE LOVE YOU!
If you click on the picture, it will make the words bigger...
These are the other books--they're songs made into board books--they are ALL wonderful (we don't have the Mary Did You Know--yet and there is one from Martina McBride's In My Daughter's Eyes)!
