March 25, 2009

On March 25, 2009, my fantastic Danny turned 35 years old!! You sir, are an old man... We went to Cafe Rio, and had chocolate cake for dessert. For our birthdays and our anniversary this year, we are giving each other a trip to Disneyland in April, just the two of us. SO MUCH FUN!!

That night, my FarMor (grandma) passed away. She is back with FarFar. I have been struggling with my feelings about her passing. We went and visited her on Sunday afternoon, because my dad said that it was going to be soon. I wasn't able to go and see FarFar before he passed away last December, and I have always felt bad about that.
She is in a happier place now. Able to see her parents, sister, and husband. Free from the trials and hardships of this life. It has been hard to watch my dad go through this again. I think that is the saddest part of losing a grandparent. My dad is such an amazing man. He is so caring and thoughtful.
I love you FarMor. Thank you for all of the visits with endless cookies and Coke. You have shown your family unconditional love and support. Go and dance with FarFar until we see you again.

Happy Birthday, Dan!

So sorry about your grandma Ashley! My grandma passed away in November and that was really hard on me. Even though we know they are in a better place it is hard on those left behind.

You have had a rough couple of years. I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. I loved your post about them dancing together. What a great blessing to have the gospel in our lives and know that your grandparents are together!

Happy Birthday Dan! Hope you had a great day. -Summer
