Reflecting on "Grand"

"Grand." Last spring at this time, we were readying for a trip west, to visit Esperanza in Colorado, and then on to the GRAND Canyon--a canyon we never saw. Yet, before the month of May was over, we were feeling a "grand canyon" in our hearts which were grieving the losses of our sister, Bunny, and our Mom, Ginny--"Grand"ma to 29!

The summer progressed, and we traveled the shore of Lake Superior, the "grand"est of the Great Lakes. Not long after arriving home, Esperanza learned, while visiting us in Marquette, that she was carrying the child who will soon bestow upon us the titles, "Grand"ma and "Grand"pa. Shortly after learning this news, Bob remarked that he had not expected to ever be blessed with this experience--one we're being told is one of the "grandest" of all!
