Goodbye and Hello

   Finally home after those ten unexpected days out of town.  We had gone back to Nanna's house from Nana's house (yes, two different people, check the spelling), and then we went back to Nana's house two days later, because my great-uncle did pass away Sunday, August 18th.  I never got to know him before he got sick, but Mommy told me all about him - He was a very loud, funny, tenacious, godly man who wanted everyone he met to know Christ too.  He loved cars too, so when I said goodbye before he went to heaven, I left two cars by his hand.  I hope they made it through the gates with him.  And I made sure to wave and say "bye-bye" to him when they rolled his casket past at the end of the ceremony; everyone laughed at this parting gesture for some reason.
   I am home again now, and stopped off to pick up Daddy as I passed the clinic he is working at.  He was thrilled to see me, but that's to be expected of course. I still miss the rest of my family very much.  I also miss my snack bucket from Nana's house....the portions it served up were so much bigger than my regular snack cup!
