This past month Jeph and I took a trip with my dad and stepmom to Anacortes Washington(2 hours north of Seattle) to basically say goodbye to my step grandpa. His name was Bob and he was closer to us then either of our own grandpas. He died friday October 19 2007....we didn't get our chance to say goodbye but he knew we were coming and he was excited to see us.
We spent the whole weekend being with Alice (his wife) who is my step grandma....she's the kind of person who when she meets you...brings you into the family and you feel like her flesh and blood. :) It rained off and on all weekend...we spent time with Wendys(stepmom)step-siblings(Bobs kids) and we had a nice time. On the way home...we stopped to take pictures of one of best spots in Anacortes. This picture is of us...on Fidalgo Bay. We took it to remember all the good times we had with Bob. He will be missed!!:)
I just wanted to encourage anyone who reads this, to tell those you love that you love them, hug them before you say goodbye, and don't rush around to much during the holidays who knows it may be the last holiday you spend with them.
Christmas was the last big holiday we spent with Bob....we had a good time but Jeph and I are both wishing we hadn't had to rush around so much. So slow down...take your time....and cherish every moment you have with those you love.
