Welcome! We are a Christian family who cares for elderly individuals in our home. There are so many quotes, stories, and photos that we wanted to share with our precious "Golden Girls'" families, which they could view quicker and could be updated easier on this blog than we would ever have time (and memory!) to share with them personally. We also thought others might enjoy reading and viewing along with the families on this great adventure of their loved ones' golden sunset years. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit with us and "The Grandmas"!

Grandma "D" ~ 1922-2012

This picture perfectly captures one of Grandma "D"s most used phrases:
"Aging is for the birds."

Early yesterday morning, our precious Grandma "D" went to be with the Lord. It was such a blessing to be able to spend the past two years with her, sharing together the many joys that life showers us with. Grandma "D" always had a "the cup is half full" mentality, thriving and enjoying each day in spite of the trials that  come with aging. 

We miss her with each new passing day, but are grateful to know that she is at peace, no more pain, no more dementia; just beautiful peace, resting in the arms of Jesus.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

I am the resurrection and the life. He who 
believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
                                   ~ John 11:25

These things I have spoken to you, 
that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer,
I have overcome the world.
                                    ~ John 16:33
