Love, the lasting kind.

My grandma has been very sick. She has been in ICU since Sunday afternoon. She went in initially with severe back pain and vomitting and then has a slew of things that have gone wrong and also some that have been very right. There have been quite a few scares and times when we feared we were going to lose her. But she is a fighter and there are many people praying with us for her so she has survivied many obstacles! We are praying for her body to get stronger and stronger and to fight off any more sickness. I would love it if you would pray for her as well. Her name is Mary Spradley.

It's times like these that make you stop and think about what's important. We spent the weekend with my grandparents to celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniverary back in June. 60 years of marriage! I've been meaning to post these pictures since we got back from that weekend. That was June 19th. I've been meaning to do this post since then. To show off the love that has gotten my grandparents to their 60th wedding anniversary. You know...that kind of love.

The lasting kind.

So, I'm doing it today.
