Grandma and Grandpa Durtschi

For Family Home Evening this week, David and I visited Grandma and Grandpa Durtschi. What fun we had chatting with them and learning about how they met and listening to some of their stories from their lives.

One of my favorite things was the interaction between them. Grandpa loved telling us stories of younger years and we loved listening. He would preface his story by saying, "Just one more and then I'll be done." Grandma's response was adorable. She rolled her eyes - I caught that - and I started giggling. I loved it. It gave me a picture of me and David in the future when grandkids come to visit and David wants to tell just one more joke or is reminded of just one more song. Grandma Durtschi saw me stifling a giggle and brought her finger to her mouth in a 'shhhh, it's our little secret.' I tried to pull out a straight face and fought to keep my giggles in.

Another thing that I thought was totally adorable was the fact that Grandma and Grandpa held hands and there was a tenderness between them.

I told David later, "You're family is so great." He looked at me and said, "We're both lucky. We have amazing families!"

We are too. Thank you to all our families for your examples and love. You're truly amazing!
