Mike and I are total nerds (or just really spiritual) and we (by we I mean mostly Mike) have been on a genealogy kick lately. This has made me think more about all of my grandparents and how great they are and how much I love them. We have some really great photos of my Grandma and Grandpa Laycock (my mom's parents) when they were young in England and I just LOVE this one! My grandma is the girl with the dark hair looking over her shoulder at the camera and my grandpa is the taller man by the train. (Isn't it cool?!) Grandpa died when I was about 10, and my grandma died just over 3 years ago...and I sometimes really miss them! The first thought I had when I was told Gram died was, "Oh good, now she's with Grandpa!" I know that's true, and can't wait to be re-united with them some day.
I guess the reason I'm writing this post is because my Grandma Tidwell's husband, Newell, died very unexpectedly today. He's an awesome man and I'm so sad that he's gone. I'm still in shock about the whole thing. So, I just had to put down these thoughts and express my love for all my family, but especially my grandparents, who I love and miss.

What a JEWEL this picture is! A real treasure, and in such great shape too. I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma's husband. How fortunate we are to have the gospel during these times when comfort is so needed :)
