Visiting Papa

Our family went to visit Isaac's grandpa in his nursing home this week. Papa isn't as alert or responsive as he used to be, but he clearly perked up when he felt Amelie and heard Elizabeth's voice. We put Amelie in his arms, and he felt her all over and even gently repositioned her in his lap at one point. She was a trouper and let him hold her for quite a while. Elizabeth held his hand and talked to him, and put some Vaseline on his dry lips. Isaac and I shared memories of Papa and prayed with him before we left.
