This has been a tough week for my family. My sweet sweet Grandma Hensley passed away last Sunday afternoon, and funeral services were held Wednesday in Alabama for her. Luckily my doctor gave me the green light to travel, so I was able to be with my family and attend the funeral. We made the trip in one day, and it was so worth it. The service was simple and beautiful, just like Grandma:) We were able to celebrate her life and the legacy of love she has passed down through our family. It was so special to hear that others thought the world of my grandma, just like we did.
When the funeral was over, we were able to go over to visit the place where my grandmother spent years of service cooking food for others. It was so neat to show Silas the place where most of my childhood memories with grandma took place, and share the stories with him. It was a hard day in many ways, but once again I came away feeling encouraged and comforted knowing that I have such amazing women of faith in my family, and that she is finally resting now.
Tyson wasn't too sure what all was going on, but he loved playing with the flowers at the grave site.
Though it was for a tough reason, I had a wonderful time visiting with my family this week. We all missed my sister and her family that are over in Bolivia though. Tyson had a wonderful time playing with his cousins and grandparents, and I enjoyed catching up with my older sister and the rest of the family. Thanks to all who have kept our family in their prayers this week....they are much appreciated.

Lauren, I did not know you have a sister in Bolivia. Where is she? What is her name?
Silas's great-aunt Callie and I are thinking about you as your time gets closer for your new baby.
Blessings,
Cousin Carisse
