What a great day! Gram had lots of visitors again (and they came bearing gifts)!
Gram just went to bed. She is still very alert, aware, and grateful for the love, prayers, and support. She is amazed at how right this is. She mentioned that she didn't ever think she would get this opportunity...she thought she just wouldn't wake up someday. Everyone coming together, calling, skyping, sending letters, etc. means so much to her.
She received a great card with pictures from Drew, Tina, Tyler, and Kyle today. They even sent coffee--which we desperately needed! How did you know?! Gram was very happy to see the pictures.
Pictures of the day:
Here are Veranda Park residents Gloria, Margaret, and Liz (left to right) who brought cupcakes. More on that later in the post...
Dick Davidson, Gram's financial "guy" who has been so great to her over the years.
We enjoyed the view and watched some boys flying a huge kite. The cows in the pasture to the right were mesmerized by the kite, it was adorable.
Noah has assumed the role of "dishwasher".
Ry arrived about 7pm and you can see how thrilled Gram was to see him. He had been scheduled for jury duty, but they released the case (whew!). He is staying for a few days. Noah and Ry started with the "tech talk" and Gram said, "It's like you two are speaking your own language!"
Hollis and Gram chatting... right before the freshly showered and towel clad Olivia joined us!
The Johnson's Skyped with us! Amy and Mark are coming on Friday morning. Gram can hardly wait. She said, "Can you believe I've lived this life and we have this? Isn't this great?" --referring to Skype
There is a ton of joyous energy here.
Chad, Cody, and Banjo joined the party!
Grandma Pam promised Banjo she would bring him new toys soon. He started talking and singing when he heard that!
Love.
The Cupcakes...
...were delicious!
Just realized that we had pictures of everyone else... I'm really here!
I love the smiles in this picture. I must have said something really funny. :-)
