Christmas Caroling

At the beginning of the week, over Birthday lunch for Annie. Happy Birthday!! Can you tell I get easily distracted. Anyway we decided that we wanted to get into the Christmas spirit and came to the conclusion that we should go caroling to a nursing home on Sunday. The plan was made to just go to one in Pleasant Grove. Then the week went crazy sad. Grandpa got put into ICU, was then given 6 months to live and is now in a nursing home as of Saturday! It is all hard to believe, and still hasn't seemed to settle in. So of coarse I suggested we go to the nursing home my Grandpa is in. We ended up doing just that and I am so grateful. When we got there pretty much my whole family was already there so it was great fun to have them join in on the caroling. We would go to each room, ask if we could sing and offer them some Christmas cookies we brought. You could tell they loved it, as did we. The elderly are so sweet and often taken for granted. We took my Grandpa along to each of the rooms and it was so fun to hear him singing along. I don't even want to think about seeing him go, but know when he does go it will be his time. It will probably be more enjoyable for him, with no pain and to see all the loved ones who have passed on before him. I love him so much!! I also just had to say thanks again to everyone for a wonderful night. I know as I serve I get just as much, or if not more out of it :)...Merry Christmas!!
