During our visit to Birmingham, we made a day trip to the factory driven town of Gadsden, Alabama to visit my Nana and Granddaddy. It was a unique visit that was rushed because of the many things we all have to do in such a short time. Next time, we hope to spend a longer visit with my grandparents and enjoy their stories and their love.
Emma took some time to get warmed up to the new surroundings of my Nana's house, but in soon, she was loving on Nana and trying to talk to her. My amazing grandmother would get down in the floor with my toddler and entice her to play. It was beautiful. They took care of us with gracious hospitality, as always.
Was it hard to be there without Mom? Definitely. Will it ever be the same? No. But why would we want it to be? There is a pillar missing from the front porch and there is no longer symmetry. However, our constant prayer is that the remaining beams will withstand this storm and remain connected and strengthened in our time of newness. We have a very loving family that are a joy to be around. We will continue rearranging the dynamics of our bond so we can provide the love and support needed for our journey here.
