A Long Overdue Visit
Covid stinks for so many reasons but one of the biggest is the fear of infecting your elderly family members and causing them harm. It has been almost TWO years since we have visited my grandparents but now that all of the adults are fully vaccinated and my grandparents gave us the green light, we made the trek up to Niles for a visit.
At 96 and 91 years old, these two are impressive. My grandma is still driving, cooking, cleaning, taking care of my grandpa and helping to babysit all of the great-grandkids that live in Niles. They don't stop moving and they keep their minds busy and I am so blessed to still have them around. It felt so good to be in her wall to wall carpeted home that is full of memories from all of our visits over the years. Now our kids get to play with the same toys that I did as a kid and were even offered one of my grandma's famous ziploc baggies of food to go.
I hope we can get up there again soon to make up for lost time during the pandemic.
