This weekend my Children met their GREAT grandpap.. for the first and hopefully not last time. My Husband (Derrick's) Pap. I was not fortunate enough to have either of mine growing up. The moment Great Pap (as we were trying to teach our son to call him although it ended up sounding more like E pap) saw them you could see him fall in love. We took them over twice. He was staying with Derrick's parents for a week. The final time we visited, my MIL made her homemade pizza with her special sauce. As I watched her kneading dough and grabbing jars of her special sauce I all of a sudden went rushing to get my camera...
THIS was one of those moments. One day my children will ask about her... for a class project or just to know more about who she was. And I'll pull out these pictures and say "Where as she could have picked up the phone and ordered something.. much like your mommy does.. Grammy put labor and love into making very special pizza for dinners with her family"
Bon Appetit!

This was a reminder that pictures aren't just jogging back memories of days we've had but also SO IMPORTANTLY for giving our memories to those who otherwise would never know.
