Evidence

Sometimes when people leave your house, you'll find evidences of their visit: a toothpaste tube left behind, a note left on the table, or mussed sheets asking to be changed.But here's the evidence Nana & Papa left behind:

  • a freshly cleaned kitchen, from Nana as a blessing to Jessica
  • a little girl who, while coloring, pauses every few minutes to mention Nana & Papa because they took time to stop and color with her so many times while they were here.
  • a baby who probably wonders where that man who flew him around like an airplane a bajillion times got off to.
  • a full coffee cup, that Papa meant to drink but left behind because he was busy doling out hugs and loading up bags
  • tears in the eyes of this daughter who is so overwhelmed by her parents' love for her children.
  • coloring pages on the fridge for the children, colored expressly for them by loving grandparents.
  • hearts more full than they were three weeks ago, made full by lots of love and lots of memories of special times together.



THANK YOU, NANA & PAPA, for coming to visit us. We LOVED getting to have you in our home for the past three weeks. We love you!!!

I cried as I read your post. I am always so blessed when I see grandparents being grandparents! What an amazing blessing to have such a wonderful family. And such a blessing to be able to have them share in your life across the sea.

We received such a blessing from being there. We enjoyed every second of it. It was so special - there aren't words to describe it! They are very precious to us!
