On Monday of our vacation we headed over to Jennings, FL to see Mamaw and Pawpaw (Bert's grandparents). You would think b/c we were already in FL that it couldn't be that far. It turns on FL is a fairly big state...Jennings is about 3 hours and 20 minutes from Panama City Beach. We didn't mind one bit and we were so glad we were able to go and see Pawpaw one last time. We enjoyed our visit so much!! Pawpaw had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about 6 weeks before this visit. We didn't know how long he had, but we knew his time on this earth was short, so we wanted to be with him every chance we got. We also were able to go see them about a week after his diagnosis. Bert was able to have some really encouraging conversations with Pawpaw....we'll always be thankful for that time.
While we were there we gave Hannah green beans for the first time. She wasn't a huge fan at first, but she warmed up to them. Pawpaw enjoyed watching her eat them.:)
Mamaw and our happy Hannah!
On August 28th, one week and one day after this visit, Pawpaw went to be with Jesus. He was such a great man...a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He just loved life!! He set a wonderful example for so many and he will be forever missed.
