Two years later, my grandparents held their 2nd great grandchild, Eisley.

4 Generations. My grandpa, my dad, my brother, my daughter.

When my grandfather was 9 years old his father died. His lifelong dream was to watch his sons grow up. God answered that prayer in abundance.

My Grandpa watched his boys grow up and watched his grandchildren grow up...

And even met his great grandchildren.

But more importantly, they got to meet him.
This amazing man went home to be with the Lord on November 17th, 2010. I get goose bumps thinking about him meeting his heavenly father and being reunited with his earthly father.

What a sweet post Alyssa! Brought tears to my eyes at the end... what a happy way to end a happy life! I know you will miss him but what a blessing to know that he is with the Lord!!!
Ah, you brought tears to my eyes.... a great post! So very sweet. You have all been blessed so richly!
A story of a life well lived and Jesus greeted him with "Well done, good and faithful servant."
What a precious post, Alyssa. He sounds like an amazing man! So glad that you'll get to see him again. Praying for your family through this loss though.
Also, on a happier note, I wanted to let you know that you won The Story of the Pilgrims book on my website, www.funmoms.org!!! If you'll just email your home address to me at emailfunmom@yahoo.com, I'll get the book in the mail right away!
