A Happy Reunion....


Just a few weeks ago we were able to celebrate my Grandpa Tenney's 90th Birthday.

He really wanted to celebrate that special day.  That milestone.

He was blessed with that gift.

Last Thursday morning... the care minder found Grandpa in bed and un-responsive.  
Grandpa had suffered from a severe GI bleed and massive stroke.

This morning... Grandpa passed away.

I know he is having a joyous reunion with my Dad... Cousin Sean, and his Siblings and Parents.

Many, Many more loved ones.

Grandpa was known for his hugs and kisses.. and I am sure he is giving out many.

He is free from the pains and sickness of this world.

I have been worried about my Mother this week.. with Valentine's day approaching.. and the day after Valentine's day is my Mother and Fathers Wedding Anniversary.

She lost her Daddy today... and she is helping to care for her Mother in a Rehab facility.

Please -- if you will-- remember my Mother in your prayers this week.

Today I am Grateful for:

Tender Mercies.  Many blessings have been fulfilled these past few months.

Grandpa Tenney.  For his Example, Love, and Kisses.

Comfort.

Prayer.

The Plan of Salvation.

Ann I will definitely keep you all in my prayers and a special one just for your mom. My heart goes out to her. My dad was just diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. Depending on the pace, the Doctor told him he has 3 to 5 years. I have thought about you a lot the past few days. Thanks for opening your heart and sharing your feelings. Some of those words have been such a comfort to me. My mom and dad are Temple Workers. I will have them put your mom's name on the prayer roll here. Sending lots of love♥
