I have awesome parents. I’m sure me questioning every little thing as a child got annoying, but, hey, at least they knew I could think for myself!

People posting puppy pictures makes me nostalgic and miss my Flicka.

OH GOD EVERY DAY.

OH GOD EVERY DAY.

I also came across this in an old photo album. It was sent to my grandmother from the local newspaper. It was a picture of her and my dad caught in a winter storm while she was Christmas shopping. I really like it :-)

My Grandmother Passed Away

last night.

She was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer back in August. She never, ever, EVER went to the doctor’s if she could avoid it (after breaking her ankle she let it swell up to 5 times its size before going to the doctor’s office). She didn’t go to the doctor until she found a huge lump on a her neck which led to the diagnosis. They found it was already Stage IV. We found that chemotherapy was virtually useless (maybe just give her a few extra months). 

We visited in October (she lives in Maine). My mom has been up twice since (just last week). I wish I had another chance to see her. It’s been really hard on my mom.

I woke up to a text message this morning from my mom telling me she passed away last night. Not to call-that she’d call me. They’re at Slippery Rock University with my sister for an orientation, so they haven’t told her yet. I’m waiting for them to get home. 

My dad and my cousin’s baby.
Any time there’s a baby in the room, my dad steals them away. Total baby hog. But he’s also the only person I’ve ever seen who can get a baby to stop crying immediately. They LOVE him.
