Elders

It has been a rough couple of months. I lost my Gramps, but he lived a full life. I have been appreciating my elders a little more. It's hard to admit that they won't be around forever. Here are some photos to help immortalize them.

My daddy and my Grandma Vasquez -April 2009

My mom and me -April 2009

The Little clan, missing Uncle Tim, Aun t Bobbie, and David, and Gramps. By this time Gramps was in decline and it was only 3 days till he died. It was also his birthday. April, 18, 2009.

I did get to spend a nice visit with Gramps a couple weeks before he died. He was in the hospital, but we were able to still make a few memories while reliving a few for old times sake as well. I knew it had been a long time since Gramps had enjoyed any food from the outside world, so I asked him if there were any special items he would like us to bring. He requested dill pickles and rye bread.
