This picture was taken on September 4th, 2008 my grandfathers first birthday in heaven. I took the girls to his grave site so we could bring flowers and introduce Princess In Training to her great-grandfather! Sassy was very close to her great-grandfather and his death hit her hard. Sadly, she saw first hand how cancer can deteriorate a person! She absolutely loved him and in this picture she was hugging him, while telling him Happy Birthday! This picture may remind me that he will never meet "P-I-T", but it is precious all the same!
This is my first Thousand Word Thursday! I got the idea from Jen over at Cheaper Than Therapy... check her out and join in on the fun!

Glad to have you on this meme. (And thanks for the comment... I'm sure you meant "she" right...?)
What a powerful photograph. My daughter was close to my husband's grandmother and was also hit hard when she died. Wish they didn't have to learn about death so young.
What a great photo.

A thousand words indeed.
Hmm, you just reminded me of how my Grandma is begging me to see my little one (hate this line, before she dies). So I've been contemplating if I should visit home (Philippines) next easter. I think I should.
Have a great Thursday.

It is never easy saying good bye but I think it is great that you take the girls to see him! When we go back to TN, we always stop to visit Papa
Oh you made me cry! What a wonderful moment you have captured forever!
