IHeartFaces ~ Nostalgia

Special week at IHeartFaces - Nostalgia. I remember looking at the topic and trying to figure out just what I would choose for this week. I had no ideas, a rarity for me since I can usually dig through the hundreds upon hundreds of photos of The Boy to find something that would fit each week's theme.

Early Friday morning Grandfather lost his battle with cancer. He went home to be with Jesus and is no longer suffering - for which we are glad but still find ourselves mourning for the great man we've lost. Grandfather was a wonderful man - I assure you if you met him, you would have loved him. Grandfather could grow anything. I'm certain he could fix anything. It's highly probable he had The Whitest Legs I've Ever Seen. And I will miss him so much.

So it seemed quite fitting that this afternoon, after the funeral was over and the family had a meal together and visited that I walked back up to my grandparents with David & The Boy - we went down to Grandfather's barn and pulled out the tractor to snap a few pictures. And then we went up to Uncle Bubba's and snapped a few more pictures of the tractor that belong to My great-granddaddy. I remember sitting on tractors as a child pretending to drive much like The Boy is doing in the picture below
