A Little Request!!

I hope everyone is a having a great weekend!! My blog looks different and I have NO idea what I did!! Anyway, I just wanted to kind of vent.... My grandfather has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is slowly getting worse. Josh, Sawyer and I went to visit him yesterday at the nursing home. I really didn't want to go to begin with but I felt that I needed to. When we got there, he was in therapy and the aid went and got him for us. He came in and I know he didn't recognize me. He thought Josh was either is brother, nephew, or grandson. I was just an in-law which really doesn't bother me. Then he started talking about someone was going to kill him. He started crying because it is so real to him. He was talking to Josh about it and all I could do was cry! I know that is not the man that I once knew as my POP!! It was just so sad to see him like that. I am so thankful that Josh went with me. He finally calmed down and we were able to visit for a little bit. He was a wonderful man to my Nannie, my mom, my sis, my bother and me. That man knows more about me that my true blood grandfathers. I know my papa loves me but it is just something about Pop. He took me to many Alabama Crimson Tide football games and showed me what it is to be a fan of the greatest team in the SEC!! We would always eat pb and j's for good luck!! I do miss the man that he use to be because I know he is never coming back. This horrible disease has taken over his brain and now all we can do is keep him comfortable. I know this is a lot of rambling but if the people who read my blog just pray for my Pop, my Nannie and the rest of my family!! This is a tough pill of swallow, but I know that with our faith and the guidance of our Lord we will make it through!

On a lighter note.... Sawyer weighs 12 lbs I cannot believe how big he is getting. He will now smile and try to talk to us!! He is such a good baby and I am thankful everyday that he is a happy, healthy and precious baby boy!!
LOVE those cheeks!!

Mr. Hollywood!!
His Whole self!!
LOVE that Smile!!!


Thanks in advance for the preayers and I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!!!
