Pictures of G.G. With us this past summer.










Just so you know I realize I have the 2 of the same picture but to upload it comes in with tons of computer words so I don't what image it is to delete one of them, so sorry but I love the picture if that helps! Anyway.....
Recently, we received a phone call letting us know that one the most cherished memebers of our family was given about 5 months to live. Her real name is Doty Richter. However, Chris's mom Kathy came up with early on when Chris and I started haveing our children that since they called her grandma and not have confusion we now refer to her in this house as G.G. short for great grandma. We say G.G. and some people don't know who we are talking about but most do because we have talked of her for years and enjoyed visits when she would come to our home no matter were we lived. She came every time or we came to her home when all our babies were born to see her new great grandchild. There are so many sweet memeories we have with her. We having a really hard time dealing with this news. She means so much to me because I wasn't raised with grandparents. All mine passed when I was very young. However G.G. filled that empty spot for me in my heart where I have held her dear to me all this time. The kids are really having a hard time knowing that she is going to pass on and they will not be able to see her anymore. Chris is just broken hearted and it brings me to tears to think of him and my kids hearts breaking because she has meant so much to Chris and was always part of his life from childhood to adulthood. Losing someone you love so much is never one of those things you want to go thru however we are. The good news thou is she might get a release from Hospice and Grandma Kathy might bring her here to Texas to see us at the beginning of April. We have yet to tell the kids because in case between here and then something happens and she can't make it they would be crushed. So this should make them feel good to see her once last time I am sure. So please pray for her and the family. As we embark on making every minite count and every memory made special with the time God gives us with her. Here are some pictures of her with us and the kids this past summer in route to Texas.
