Superheroes

So a couple years ago, my Grandpa Hathaway passed away. It was a rough time for us all. I loved my Grandpa with all my heart. He was a great man. One I strongly admire. After his death, my grandma has had a hard time, but none harder than lately. She was doing yard work, and broke her back. The night before they were coming to fit her for her back brace, she stepped wrong and fell, breaking it two more times. Three breaks total. She went into the hospital for a few weeks. We went to visit one night and my Uncle David surprised her with a visit the night he was graduating from college with his masters degree!! She was ecstatic!! It was truly adorable.

It's been hard to see all the drastic changes happening so quickly. She isn't healing as quickly as they'd like because of her osteoporosis so she has to go live in a senior living center. We went to her home, my mom and her siblings held a meeting and they all dispersed her things and sold her house in a matter of days. Such a flury. I admit I cried. Although I'm sure it's better we do this before her death instead of after because this way she has a say in how it all goes. I love my grandma. My mother grew up in this home, but I kind of feel I grew up there too. It was such a constant in my life. I was able to grab a few memory shots of the yard before it was gone. This cherry tree will always be my home away from home...

My grandma and grandpa both built this yard from dirt. My grandfather built this shed

I think even the sky was moody that day, not just me

I hope one day My home can bring as much joy to my children and grandchildren as my grandparents' home did.
