Today I’m remembering my sweet Papa Pitts. It would have been his 82nd birthday today. We lost him two weeks ago on February 15th after a long, hard few weeks in the hospital following complications after surgery.
It’s been heartbreaking for our family to lose him and something we really weren’t prepared for. But I’m so grateful to have had him in my life for almost 34 years and for my babies to have known him too. And I’m so thankful to know that he’s with his Lord and Savior and that we’re promised to see him again some day in heaven. What a sweet assurance from a merciful and loving God!
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” - John 14:1-4
My Papa’s smile wasn’t big but it was always a big deal to see it. I will miss that sweet little smile.

So great that you have all these lovely photos. Beautiful way to remember him. He was a really great guy and wonderful Grandfather.
Just your average story. Girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love and get married. They have a simple, quiet life then girl and boy decide to start a family. It feels like that�s where our story really gets interesting because it�s hard to remember life before kids. My husband, Michael, and I have been married since 2002 and live in NW Arkansas with our two amazing and slightly crazy kids, Gabby and Peter Michael. This blog is all about our daily, weekly, or monthly lives depending on how up to date I keep it. I�m a stay at home mom so of course there�s the average craft, etc along the way. Enjoy!
