...finds us leaving Naples after a week here in Florida. Jordan and I made a determination to fly down last minute this past Tuesday, because of the much heightened worsening of his Grandma Chalker from her Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. After a long battle with this, she passed away first thing on Thursday morning. Wednesday had been a great day spent with all the family at Harbor Chase (the assisted living where she & Grandpa have both been for the past 2 years) taking turns going in 2 or 3 at a time to sit with her. The whole family, including Anne and the kids, has been down and they just left today.
So you'll excuse my delinquint blogging, as I've been rather busy in another world for the past week.
We had the funeral service on Saturday afternoon, directly after the 11-1 visitation. It was a beautiful service, and left everyone feeling victorious and uplifted, which is what Grandma's life did for people, so it was perfectly appropriate.
It's been a wonderful week- tiring at times, but purposeful and full. Thanks for everyone's prayers and stepping in to help us cover all our tracks last minute.
Much love!
Ps- and yes! I did make it to Teavana :-)
