We took a trip to Arizona in June to spend some time with "Grandpa Great & Grandma Great"...Grandpa (my moms dad) was battling cancer and it was important to us to go and take the kids to "squeeze his neck" and let him know how much we love him. We spent three days in AZ and had other family visitors too - cousin Cooper scored brownie points with the kids. We moved grandpa so he could watch the water fights through the windows, we read books, told stories and sang all of our favorite songs (ABC's and the Wheels on the Bus). WE LOVE GRANDPA GREAT!

Grandpa Great went to Heaven and that is very hard to explain to a 4yr old...

Wyatt: Mom where is GGreat?

Mom: In heaven

Wyatt: How did he get there?

Mom: The angels

Wyatt: When did they take him and how?

Mom: Angels can come at all times of the day or night and they have God's magic to help

Wyatt: Can he come back to see us?

Mom: In our dreams and we can talk to him when we say our prayers at night.

Wyatt's prayer later that night : Dear God - thank you for today, thank you for keeping a safe world and tell Grandpa Great I want the angels to bring him back - Amen.

Mom: Crying :)
