Trip to Augusta

Posted on July 20, 2007
Filed Under Family, Travel |

We just got back from visiting my Opa (Grandfather) in Augusta, Ga. My Opa has cancer and the doctor’s say that he has up to a year to live. So the trip was bitter sweet because we got to spend time with him, my mom, sister, and nephew but it might be the last time we get to see him. During this trip I was reminded, once again, how precious and short life really is.

One of the things that I admire about Opa is his creativity and giftedness. This shot is of his backyard that was once empty and plain. He then picked a few books up and learned how to build this water fall, fish pond, bridge, deck and brick barbecue (that you can’t see from this picture). He will be missed!

    Christopher and Arelis,
    I am so glad that you were able to see Opa. I know it means a great deal to him as he lives out his last days with us. Chris, you remember Easter 2000. when I baptized him at Warren Baptist Church? We were in Augusta for the Masters.

    We love you guys . . . .
