Grandma and Grandpa

My parents are visiting for a few days and all regular activities seem to stop when that happens. I want to sit and enjoy the time with them. I want to soak it all up. Living far away from them is tough.

My niece was telling me how it was going to be so difficult to not see them for a few weeks, because they live near each other and get to see Grandma and Grandpa on a regular basis. She asked how we can do it, living so far away and not getting to see them very often.

I guess you get into the grind of daily life and just deal with it. When the opportunity arises to be with them, I'm reminded of what it is that we are missing out on.

Thankfully, we do live near Kurtis' parents and seeing Grammy and Pops (as they are referred to by Malachi and Zoe) is a highlight of many weekends. What a blessing, though, it would be to have the opportunity to live near both Grandparents.
