Sad Day.........

Well, it's been quite the past week that's for sure. On the note of Caleb and I not feeling well things are getting better there so we are thankful that's turning around anyway. Now we just have Daddy coming down with a cold but hopefully he will shake that quickly and neither of us will get that.

We got the phone call early this AM that Caleb's Great Grandma Nelson passed away this morning (my grandma Edith for those of you that have met her). She has been in and out of the hospital over the past month or so and then took a turn for the worst a week ago now when she ended up at United Hospital. Finally, earlier this week they transferred her back to Baldwin to the nursing home where she spent her last few days. Going there to visit her over the past days and watching her go through what she did was one of the hardest things I've ever done but it also put life into perspective. Here I was holding the hand of my 89 year old grandma who has lived an incredible life and saying goodbye to her and then I look at my little boy and see what an incredible life he has just begun. I don't know.....something about it all just amazed me. Life is sure a precious thing and what a miracle our little guy is in ours right now. I'm just so grateful that my grandma got the chance to meet Caleb and in the short time she knew him, she thought the absolute world of him. She was quite an amazing woman!!!!!!

Til next time, Erin
