Our Christmas visit with Doc

     It is so hard losing a grandparent. I experienced losing Nannie John while in college and was fortunate enough to still have Nannie Russell and Doc until December 2013 when Nannie left this world. Now Doc is 93 and was in the nursing home this Christmas. While we have known for sometime that more than likely his Christmases with us were numbered it is still hard. He loves his family more than I could ever explain and seeing him in bed not enjoying it with us makes it even harder. He is the best grandfather in the world and I am so thankful to still have him with us and even more thankful my children have seen how a grandfather leads by example.
