We went to visit Grandma Allred for the long weekend. We did many of our usual activities (can’t miss the carousel!) and family visits. This weekend though, for the first time, we went out to visit Timothy’s Grandma’s grave site. It was really neat to be able to take the kids out there. We had Mom Allred bring out some pictures of her Mom and tell the kids some stories and a little bit about her. It was a very sweet and sacred experience for us. Timothy’s Grandma passed away when he was 8 so obviously, I have never met her, but Emma is named after her, Emma LaRhea, though Grandma went by LaRhea.
Last Sunday, Emma was the spotlight child in primary and one of the questions asked was, “Who do you look up to?” Emma thought for a brief minute before responding, “My Great Grandma”. Our children are blessed to have met three of their wonderful great grandmas, but this time, she was referring to Great Grandma Mitchell.
Thanks Mom Allred for sharing and teaching us about your Mom. Can’t wait to meet that amazing, funny, loving, wonderful woman!
