Deacon Says Goodbye

Tonight we went out to dinner with Bruce's daughter Emily, her husband Chad and our grandson Deacon, who turns 7 months old on October 18. Chad is in the Air Force, and has been stationed at the AF base in Rapid City, South Dakota. They are leaving on Saturday.

We know this will be our last time to see them as easily as we have these past months, and the thought of missing out on Deacon's daily discoveries and developments is heart-wrenching. I'm sure many of you have been in this same situation, and it just isn't easy.

Chad, Emily & Deacon. They'll be living on base in Rapid City.

Bruce (Grandpa) and I with Deacon. He's a very happy boy!
