The Love of Family

This past week our Grandpa George was hospitalized after he collapsed-- and was sadly removed from Life Support on Tuesday February 24th. It was a very sad night for the Slone family as we had lost the Man that built this legacy we call the Slone Family. Now when I say a Legacy, I am serious! There were probably 40 people, all Slone, at the hospital that week, and no one would leave... this is just simply how they are. I feel so blessed to have been married into this family. George raised all of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to live their life thru Christ and always put your family first. He was an amazing man that had a way of making everyone feel like you were the most important person in the world. When Chloe was born, I was induced at 5:00 am and didn't have her until 7:00 pm. Well George and Linda sat tirelessly with our parents from about 10:00 am on. They had no intention of leaving before she was born. Tayler came to quickly for anyone to sit and wait, but George and Linda of course drove all the way from Show Low just to walk me out as I was being discharged. They would have never even considered missing me! I, being an inlaw, was always treated as I was one of his own grandchildren-- the sweetest words, and the warmest hugs could always be expected! This weekend we went to Show Low for the service and it was a beautiful celebration of his life. The church was absolutely packed with people, all of whom George has touched in one way or another. We then returned to Grandma Linda's house to be with the family... and let me tell you, it was so comforting to be surrounded with family, food and chatter! Is there anything better? I wish the circumstances could have been different... nonetheless it was great to be with family.

So now as we have returned home, It is time to start another week. Back to Laundry, back to dishes, cooking, the whole nine yards. I am a little overwhelmed even thinking about it.

No post would be a post without filling you in on our ever going Baby name Drama!
As we were sitting at Linda's house... we decided to talk about names. People threw out names left and right-- Clint shot them down one after another. Until someone said Kylie, and Clint said I like that... it's a winner! Excuse Me what?????? Do you know how many times I have asked him about this name??? 10,000 to be exact. He swears I have never mentioned it. It must be nice to know that I am heard, right? I have loved Kylie forever! So now all of the Slones...including Clint are on board for Kylie Jo Slone ! I love it, and I think I am putting a stop to the drama and just name the kid now... once and for all!
