Summer is almost over. It will still be hot, but school is in. The summer always flies by. I have spent a lot of time thinking about family this summer. Riley turned 8 and was baptized. Mia turned 5 and is going to kindergarten. The main thing that has made me think about family was the passing of my grandma. She has had a huge impact on the way I live my life. I was able to spend a lot of time talking to grandma over the years and I can truly say she was my friend. Her service to her family and others was remarkable. I will miss having her her on this earth. However, I am so happy that she is now with grandpa again. I feel so blessed to have my own little family. I hope that I can live up to my grandma's example.
