A Little Sad

Grandpa Hicks was here to visit this past weekend and it was nice to have him but he will no longer be staying with us during the summer months. I knew this was coming because he was not here much this summer. The stairs have become harder for him and I have stairs. Every time you want to get out of my house there are stairs. I would have more than willing to have him and Hannah change rooms (Grandpa slept downstairs and Hannah on the main floor) to have him stay. It really hit me when I was downstairs after he left that there was no clothes hanging in the closet and none of his personal items on top of the dressers. It made me sad and longing for him to come back and he had just left that morning. It's a bummer to have your parents getting older.

That is a bummer. I don't look forward to the time when my parents and you guys get older like that too. Sorry for the sadness. Guess you'll just have to come to Michigan for a visit ;).
