These last few days we've had family come to visit, and it's been nice to have the house filled with smiles, stories of the "outside world", and laughter. Just thought I'd put up these two photos from yesterday evening that summarized the night.
While making dinner, mom was resting on the couch with her granddaughter, Annabelle. I could hear them, barely, as I was leaning over the kitchen sink, and they were facing one another, rocking side-to-side smiling and gently singing "You are My Sunshine". I looked at my [step]sister (Annabelle's mother), Jennifer, and well, we had some tears we didn't do a great job of holding back because it was such a pure, beautiful, and humble moment. I have countless memories of mom singing this to me growing up (admittedly she still does!), and personally, this is a memory that made me extremely happy that Annabelle would also have...sitting on the couch, by the fire, and with her Grandma Joy.
After dinner (Facebook friends might be able to get a glimpse of the silliness that ensued while we were making it), we just kind of winded down with our electronics. I snagged this picture and joked that we looked like some version of the Joy Luck Club, or to be more correct, the Joy Luck iPad Club. No real candies were crushed during the taking of this photo.
