Great-Grandparents

Growing up I don't think I was able to get to know any of my Great-Grandparents beside my Great-Grandma Butler. I have very few memories with her, but I do remember her being very sweet, gentle and kind. I'm grateful for those memories.

Most of Kade and Tenley's Great-Grandparents have passed away, but luckily they have Great-Grandma and Grandpa Woodruff. I wish we lived closer so they had more time with them and more opportunity to get to know them, but they have been so sweet to my kids. Today we received a package from them with four little sing-a-long books for the kids and they love them! They were so excited and one of the first things Kade said was, "We need to write them a thank you card!" So we did.

My Grandma and Grandpa Woodruff have always been so generous with all that they have. They have also always been so willing to serve the Lord in many different ways, and no matter what they've been through in their lives together they have stayed faithful and true to the gospel principles. I'm so grateful for their examples and I hope Kade and Tenley can remember that of them.

They were never able to meet my Grandma and Grandpa Feveryear, and although I was 8 when my Grandpa passed away and 16 when my Grandma passed away they left a great legacy for me and my children. I'm grateful for this biography that my Grandpa Feveryear left. It tells a great deal about the person he was.

I, unfortunately, was never able to meet any of Brad's Grandparents. I wish I was because I've heard so many good stories about them.

My sister-in-law and I were talking about this the other day, that we have so many faithful relatives with so many great experiences and faith-building stories to share, and we aren't able to meet many of them while we are here on Earth because we are here for such a short time. But I believe we'll have the chance to meet them and talk to them after this life is over. I'm sure we will be surprised with the amazing legacy we each have when we are able to meet our ancestors and spend time with them and talk to them. I really look forward to it. I look forward to spending more time doing genealogy so that I can learn as much about my ancestors now that I can. 

I'm so grateful for mine and Brad's faithful families and for the examples they all are to us.
