Family Reunion...

Josh has not seen or spoken with anyone from his father's side of the family in almost 12 years but this last fall he spoke with his paternal grandmother for the via phone. They talk every now and then. When she called in February Josh told her about his upcoming trip to Haiti & how we were trying to raise the funds for him & 3 others to go. She invited him to come down to Grand Rivers, KY (by Land Between the Lakes) to speak at her church "Grand Rivers Baptist Church". So, we made plans to go. Josh's sister & 2 kids even made plans to come. My dad, the three others going on the trip with Josh: Jimbo, Garry & Dakota, Lindsey & her 2 kids, Josh, Isaiah & myself met them at Patti's Settlement Restaurant for lunch at 3 PM. We had fun. It was awkward at first. But having so many people there helped keep conversations going & eliminate all the awkward "dead air" that could have occurred. So I was able to meet Josh's "Grandma Jo" & her husband "Haze". Of course, I have pictures of Isaiah with his great-grandmother. It was a nice day.
