"A human being should be able to heal a wound, plan an expedition, order from a French menu, climb a mountain face, enjoy a ballet, balance accounts, roll a kayak, embolden a friend, tell a joke, laugh at himself, cooperate, act alone, sing a children's song, solve equations, talk to God, throw a dog a stick, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, love heartily, fight efficiently, die gallantly" -- This is what we strive for.

Grandpa Al


A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart.
~Author Unknown
A great picture of my dear Grandpa Al and his daugher (my sweet Auntie Karey) at my cousin's wedding. Grandpa Al has gold in his heart like no other man. He is wise, caring, and has a humorous sense that makes him an absolute joy to be around.
Grandpa Al has been in the hospital sense Saturday, March 5th for many different health reasons. He is staying strong and doctors are helping fix a lot of the medical issues he is dealing with, and trying to make him comfortable along the way.
We are hoping this will be a short-term visit with the hospital, but either way, it makes you so thankful for this man. He is 87 years old, a husband of over 50 years to an amazing woman (who passed 11 years ago), and a father of three beautiful daughters, and a grandfather to 5 amazing grandkids.
If you get a sec, say a quick prayer for this amazing man. We are all hoping he will feel better soon, so we can see him as his wonderful self again.
