this saturday shane and i went to atlanta to celebrate his grandfather's 92nd birthday as well as his twin sister's 31st birthdays! it was so good to see his family. the family calls shane's grandfather captain, i'm assuming because of his service in the war and in the civil air patrol. funny...i've never really asked an explanation for that. guess i should. we also had the pleasure of seeing shane's dad who lives in cape coral, florida (no, we're not jealous at all) and whom we don't get to see that often. it truly was a special time to be with everyone.
shane's whole family is really special to me. i am so thankful that God has blessed me with such a wonderful 2nd family. truly, i could not have asked for a more Godly and loving family to become a part of. captain, especially, has really filled a void in my life. my mother's father, whom i adored and still do to this day, passed away when i was in middle school and my father's father is still alive, but i don't have much interaction. captain has become the missing patriarch in my life and i will forever be thankful to him for being such an openly loving, christian example to my husband and to me. shane is a better man because of captain and i know i'm a better person just for knowing captain much less being loved by him. i have personally seen the influence captain has had on his family and many, many other individuals he has crossed paths with. i hope he knows the difference he has made in so many lives. i've often wondered where he hides his wings.
enjoy the pictures and be blessed...i sure am!!
peace and love.
