Grateful

Today, and everyday, I am grateful for Grandparents.  For the Grandparents in my life and the parents that are the Grandparents for our kids.

I remember when I was younger, people would tell me how lucky I was that all of my Grandparents were a part of my life and that many of my Great-Grandparents were living.  Looking back, yes – I am VERY lucky.

These past two weeks have reminded me of how lucky I am to have grandparents in my life.  Not only my own grandparents but for Kelly’s grandparents too (that I really consider as mine!) 

Grandma & Grandpa Dolar have been through a lot these past two days but they are strong and with a family that loves them, they will be just fine.

A few memories from all of the Grandparents in my life.  Some of you that read this will probably know exactly who I’m talking about:

• Fresh Lilacs on the kitchen table
• Raisin filled cookies (the most amazing ever made)
• Quilts & wooden thread spools used as blocks
• Tire swing in the backyard
• Sleepovers with homemade pancakes with fruit in them for breakfast
• Camping at Rockport
• The best damn brown gravy
• Pinky wave
• Iron Blossom Lodge at Snowbird

As for our parents – Thank You for creating memories with our kids and for being the “cool” ones that our kids go to when Kelly and I aren’t so cool.
