The Catch Up Post.....

Due to family illness, death & my own medical issues I haven't been able to post in a while. I had surgery last week & I find I now have the time to catch everyone up. My Grandma Parker was the one that was ill and we lost her in Feburary. It was a huge blow to us all & she is very much missed. With my illness she was always worried about & prayed for me. She would be at her worse & yet as soon as I seen her it was always "Mandy how are you? Shouldn't you be taking it easy?" I can't begin to tell you how much I missed that this past week. Not having her call to see how I was doing was hard but I can say I felt she was watching over me.
My Grandma was an only child born in March of 1923 to Frank & Amanda Newton in Meade County KY. Grandma was blessed with 4 children Wanda, Janis, Frankie & Cathy out of those 4 children she would be blessed with 11 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren & 4 great great grandchildren.

In the past 2 years I have lost 2 grandparents & I only have 1 grandma left if I lose her I will be lost. I feel very blessed to have had them in my life for so long but it truly feels like a part of me is gone with them & even to this day I can be sitting here & just cry. My daughter is due to have her first child soon & I find myself praying that they allow me the chance my grandparents had to be a part of her life.

I recently was able to make copies of pictures of old photos from my Grandma Parker (Millard) side as well as my Grandpa Millard and I made it into a short video so please enjoy! If any family members would like copies just get in touch with me and I will send them to you
