Grandma Palmer has had quite a few health struggles over the last several years with cancer, but we got a phone call that she really wasn't doing well after a surgery and should maybe think about coming to see her at the care center she was staying at. Matt and I were just going to run down there real quick but Gavin asked if he could come with. Before we got out of the car, Gavin asked if we would be able to sing to Grandma.
Grandma looked rough but she knew exactly who we were. There were some sweet tears shed by all of us. I think Gavin feels an extra special connection with Grandma because we gave him his middle name, West, from her maiden name- Wanda West Palmer.
Once we left, Gavin said, "I don't think I could've sung to grandma without crying anyway, Dad."
We sure are grateful for amazing grandparents that have built such a legacy for our families!
