My Grandma . . .

Thanks to my GRANDMA LIFFERTH - I have the BEST mom EVER!!!
My Grandma has had Alzheimer's Disease for a long time and her husband
passed away 15+ years ago - so we all think Grandma is ready to return home to Her HEAVENLY Mansion that she deserves! Grandma recently took a bad turn healthwise and so we all had the chance to meet at her care center and visit w/her and family.

Grandma lived a hard life - she did ALOT of very hard, physical labor clear up to the time Grandpa passed away.
She never complained!
She was ALWAYS positive.
She wrote all her 90+ grandkids letters on their b-days!
She was a SPIRITUAL GIANT!
She had 13 kids - NATURALLY (that alone is amazing!!)
She was always creating missionary moments!
WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!!

And now for my MOM!!!
My Mom is my Grandma and then some!!!
She ALWAYS takes care of my kids whenever we are together!!

She is also a Spiritual GIANT!! - Thanks to my Mom, we have all developed a love for the scriptures - because she read them to us EVERY DAY growing up!! (even when I was in college - I would come home to visit and my Mom would read as I ate breakfast and hurried off to work!)

She is ALWAYS looking out for everyone else - except herself!! The most unselfish person I know!!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!! Thanks for your great example!!

And here are the kids playing at the care center !!

What little boy can resist water?? NOT MINE!!!!
