In Caroline's second grade class they have a unit to study heroes. It is so neat. They pick community and national heroes like presidents or famous people and research them. They dress up like them and tell all about the hero. The next week the students pick their own personal hero. Caroline picked her Nana for her hero.
The class invited their heroes to a luncheon and honored them with a video, lunch and hand drawn art.
Caroline said in her video: my Nana is just like me and I become more and more like her every day.
I feel that she loves me.
My sister and I spent a weekend with her and we got spoiled.
I love her.

she's my hero too! ;) that is a sweet little one you have there gretch. i also, love the picture of them both. :)
I think of you all often.
That is so sweet. Gretchen, I am SO sorry about your dad. I hadn't done any blogging for several months and so I didn't find out until today. Your dad was one-of-a-kind. I remember him being SO friendly whenever he was visiting the ward. It always meant so much to me--especially when I was new there. I wish I could give you a big hug. I pray your heartache will be eased and the spirit can give you great comfort. Even though we have the gospel and know we can be with our loved ones again it still hurts because we don't know how long it will be. If we could just have the veil lifted from time-to-time so we can keep that relationship constant. I am SO sorry. I think that is such a wonderful idea to put all the plants in your yards to have that comfort from others stay with you. What a proactive way to hold to the positive. I am moving to St. Louis in another month--which I heard your sister-in-law just moved there--so we want to come visit this summer and maybe we can help cheer you up.
Love,
Charity
