Celebrating Father's day with Pops

 We had a wonderful Father's Day celebration with John's dad at his sister's house on Sunday.

John's sister, Lynn and her husband, Gary were able to get Jack from the care center to their home for the day.  This is not an easy feat considering his medical problems, but he was so happy to be "sprung" for the day.

We were so happy that Courtney and Tizita were able to join us.  Paul was in Montana at his family cabin, so he was not around that day.

My mom also joined us.

She and Jack (John's dad) along with my dad and John's mom had been very good friends.  They were the best in/out laws and got along famously.

My mom enjoyed visiting with Jack.   I think she relates to him on a very personal level when it comes to losing a spouse.

 Tizita took this photo of the three of us.

 This is the very pretty poster that Tizita made for Pops.

It will have a place of honor in his room at the care center.

 Four generations.

 Of course, Tizita had to help with the presents.

And here is Tizita with her two great grandparents.

She is a blessed little lady to have two great grandparents in her life.

It is always difficult to see parents age and need to move into nursing homes.

Life isn't always fair to its oldest generation, but there is a reason they are still with us.

Please continue the prayers and thoughts for Courtney, Paul, Tizita, and Soliana as they spend time together in Ethiopia.

One week from tonight and I will be seeing Soli for the first time!
