It was a 2 hour drive for us, much shorter than the trek to Maine and NH, but it's well worth it whenever you can get up there. Something I wish we had done more of? Writing down or even recording as many of their stories as we could.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432778814708875811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-48503515507955403312013-08-23T11:18:59.368-04:002013-08-23T11:18:59.368-04:00Congrats on the cute finish Nikki.

And no, it isn't easy to watch loved ones get older. Just remember to be glad you had them in your life so long..as I am without grandparents for so long, and without parents for 25 years now. But then I was the baby of the family born to aging parents.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600472733901683148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-84071072829061129722013-08-23T07:21:04.189-04:002013-08-23T07:21:04.189-04:00It's hard to watch our loved ones grow old, is...It's hard to watch our loved ones grow old, isn't it?
