Great Grandma

On April 19th we lost Chip's beloved Grandmother.  She was a one of a kind lady, with a one of a kind way of making everyone she came in contact with feel special and loved.  Preston and I were lucky enough to be able to spend her last days with her, and Chip was there with us in spirit.  She is greatly missed, but knowing that she is looking down on us all and smiling eases all of our minds and hearts.  I can not wait until Preston is old enough to tell him about all of the amazing acts of God that went on in that hospital over the course of 10 days.  God truly is great.  Preston, during GiGi's last week on earth, when I tucked you into bed and said my nightly prayer over you I also repeated one of my all time favorite verses.  "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return.  The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21

I am so upset that I never took a picture of you and Gigi, but let me tell you, she had unconditional love you Preston.  One of my favorite memories is when Dad and I brought you to Houston for the first time.  You were three months old and it was the first time you met Gigi.  Your dad and I came inside the house and Gigi was sitting down with her dinner ready to eat.  When she saw you for the first time she put her food to the side, and said "Bring me the baby, I will eat later."  During that 3 day stay in Houston she held you as much as possible.  As you get older I can not wait to tell you all about your amazing Gigi.
