Nana and Grandad

3 years ago, my grandparents came for a visit and they decided it would be their last. They aren't getting any younger and the trip was just getting too hard so we all new they wouldn't be back to visit. I have a disease where I like to bury my head in the sand when things get hard and so I knew I may not see them again so decided it was too hard to face so I spent most of the visit all wrapped up in my new boyfriend Ken and didn't make the most of the time with my Grandparents. It was a VERY emotional goodbye when they left and since then I have truly regreted not spending every second with them on their visit. Luckily I was given a second chance as my grandparents couldn't stand being away and so decided to make the trip again. Right before they came we found out that my Grandad's cancer was back and had spread into his bones so his time was getting shorter. This time I vowed that as hard as it would be I had to make the most of every second..... and make the most we did. I kissed them every chance I could and am so grateful to share this time together. Please forgive the quantity of pictures, they are just the cutest so couldn't choose ;) We spent most of our time hanging around the different family houses. Grandad LOVED!! when Kristian brought his guitar. Cheers Nana!! I love you too!! Out to eat. We went swimming at Crystal Hot Springs 4th of July chillin' at my house They are the cutest couple in the world and after 66 years you can see how madly in love they are. I hope Ken and I can grow old to be just like them!!!! Love you Nana and Grandad!!

Becca!!
I am SO happy to see that you're alive! I think it's great that you have been off having so much fun - I'm a little jealous. ;) I think it's so awesome that you were given another chance to spend with your Grandparents. They are so precious, and it's always hard knowing that they are getting older, and won't be around forever. I, like, you, try to spend all of the time that I can with mine, because time really is short, and I don't want to have any regrets.
