Great Grandpa & KJ


Great Grandpa & KJ
Originally uploaded by pick1230.
This past friday (Dec. 1st), Laura's grandpa Horsley passed away. Grandpa had cancer for quite a while, and it finally beat his physical body. Over the last couple months, Grandpa was in and out of the hospital and ws in the nursing home for about 2-3 months, and Kennedy would love to go visit him. We passed the nursing home every day on the way to school, and she would point and say, "paw-paw" everytime.

This picture is of the last family breakfast we had with grandpa, in October. Grandpa was always trying to make KJ laugh, and wanting some kisses. She obliged as much as a 1 yr. old would. She even would go up and touch his tatoo on his arm saying, "TOO". (His tatoo said "EJH" it stood for Ed J. Horsley...the funny thing is that he didn't have a middle name, he just didn't want his arm to say EH)

Grandpa Horsley's passing brought back so many memories of my Grandpa and his passing 8 years ago. So much of Grandpa Horsley reminded me of my Grandpa Kayser. From their jokes to their servant hearts.

I know how much we were blessed by being able to spend time with grandpa and seeing his Godly example, but I can't wait to tell Kennedy about her Great Grandpas that loved her so much.
