Thanks you guys for all you support and love!! I will be sure to take lots of pictures while I am there. I am trying not to feel guilty about not going down there in so long but it is hard. My mom is going to try to figure out when she will have the money and the time off from work to go. We are hoping to all maybe go for Thanksgiving!!
Thanks

Oh Heather, I'm so sorry about your grandfather. I think the idea of a letter is great. If you have some pictures send them along, I bet he would love that. Maybe even have Kenna draw a special picture for him.
I don't have much of my family left. All my grandparents were gone when I was little. My dad passed away in 1992 and my husband's whole family is gone. The only one left is my mom who is 86 and my sister. I love my mom so dearly that I don't know what I will do if something happens to her. I enjoy every minute that I can spend with her.
Just want you to know that I am thinking of you and hope that you can make the trip at Thanksgiving to see your grandfather.
Hugs

Heather,
I am sorry about your grandfather. And I understand what that is like to be across the country with babies (or toddlers) and to not be able to travel to see them often. That is the way it was with me when my boys were little too. I know it may be hard, but try to go down there to visit with him (and take your little ones!) while you can, because if you don't, I'm afraid you will regret it later. I know I did.
Thinking of you!

There is never an easy way to hear the words that someone you
love has cancer. Our whole brain goes on OVERLOAD and we just can't believe what we've just found out. Give yourself some to digest the news and then get over to see your Grandparents ASAP, with your little girl. That will make their day to see you both. My sister died of cancer a few years ago and it really helped me to call and email her often. She was in Michigan and I was in Montana. I loved sending her 'net cards (There's some great websites for cards) and loved sending her flowers alot. Plus, there were times when just calling and telling her how much I cared and how much I loved her were a big encouragement to both of us. Get creative, Heather, and I know you will find ways to show your grandfather how much you love him and irregardless of the distance b/w you, you'll find ways to show you care.

Heather I'm sorry about your grandfather. My grandma has a grapefruit sized tumor on her kidney and I cringe every time the phone rings at an odd time worried that she might have died. My family lives 12 hours away too and I agree, it's SO hard to get to see them with little kids. We see them every year though. Usually the girls and I fly up there for a week or 2 and see everyone. This will inspire you and give you courage to make the drive though...a friend of mine drove to New Jersey from Atlanta with her 4 kids aged 6, 4, 2, and 8 months! It can be done!!! Go now and take lots of pictures of him and your daughter. She may not remember him someday, but you'll have pictures of the 2 of them together that you can show her.
