Since we were going to be up north for a baby blessing, we planned to get a 5 generation picture with my great-grandparents (and on down the line). During the car ride to their house, we heard news that great-grandpa had passed away early that morning. I felt blessed to be able to be in his home that day. I picked the "spouse" picture to journal, maybe as a reminder that great-grandma is alone here on earth, but part of an eternal family who loves each other. He wouldn't ever to have chosen to leave her- he really wanted to take care of her. We went back a few days later for the funeral and heard even more about the good memories he has provided for so many generations of family. It is a special thing for me to be surrounded by so many faithful generations of family.

What a neat family picture! What a blessing our eternal families are.
That is cool that you got to visit with your great grandma on that day. Sorry to hear about your great grandpas death, but just look at that posterity he left behind!
