Visit to Great Great Grandma's
With the recent passing of my Aunt Ginny last week, and also a good family friend Zetha on Sunday, I've been thinking a lot lately about spending more time with the people in our life who won't always be around. On Monday evening after dinner, we decided to have family home evening at Trevor's aunt's house and go visit his great grandmother Whittle. She is 101 years old, and still so sharp and sweet. We met Trevor's family up there and enjoyed the evening listening to Grandma Whittle tell stories about her daughter Sabra (Trev's Grandma) who passed away several years ago. She had so much to say and so many wonderful things to share with us. Trevor sang with his sister, and she showed us her bedroom before we left. One thing that she said that night was that she has 142 direct blood decendants, and loves each and every one of them. She told us that she now knows how the Savior is able to know and love all his children, because that's the way she feels for all of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren. She loves them unconditionally and would do anything she could to help them. It was a very special Family Home Evening, and I'll always remember it.
