Grandpa Smith

We went to Rexburg so that we could be there for Zac's Grandpa's 89th birthday party...it was just an extra bonus that we got to stay with Terry and Sarah. Grandpa lives in a care facility and the past few months has has not been doing well. All of Zac's aunts and uncles were there and most of the cousins, some I hadn't even met before. We had a big lunch and then took turns going to see Grandpa in his room. Lisa has gone to Rexburg three times in the last week and will go again this weekend to be with her Dad.

Carson and Jace (I think this is one of the few times they sat still) My camera was about to die so I didn't get any more pictures of the day but it was nice to be with family and be there for Lisa.

This was taken at Grandpa's birthday last March and it was hard to see how different he looks now. He is quite skinny and just looked so frail in his bed. Zac told me that he is prepared for him to go but it was difficult to see him now. Makes me grateful for eternal families.
