Be good for a change

Adam's Grandpa H* passed away in late February. It was so sad to see him go, but happy because we know we will see him again. Even for the little time that I have known him, I have just loved being around him. He was very funny and very intelligent. It is fun to get to know Adam's family better and to see where he comes from. His Grandparents are so sweet and patient and kind. Abbi was saying that whenever you get to see Grandma H* it gives you the biggest self confidence boost because she cannot stop talking about how sweet, kind, nice, loving, handsome, beautiful, etc. etc you are. What a sweet woman! It is easy to see where Adam's family gets their awesome, positive, happy, and kind outlook on things. Adam's grandpa was also so funny and would say to you when you left after visiting, "Be good for a change".

With the funeral and all, Adam's parents and sisters were able to come in town and we just loved having them here! Adam's mom & I did the flower arrangements for the funeral with white roses symbolizing the children, white tulips symbolizing the grandchildren, and one white calla lily to symbolize his sweet wife. We also did some sprays and I think they turned out well! I could not have done it without dam's mom! We also went through a ton of pictures that were in the house and distributed them to the siblings in the family. It was quite a project but it was fun to go through old pictures with everyone. We were also able to go to one of adam's intramural flag football games and go to dinner one night.

Anyway: here are some pictures! Adam's sister Audra took some WONDERFUL pictures of all of the events. Click here to see them!
