I love this girl.

My cousin Allie took this photo! L to the O to the V to the E.



**Sadly, my husband's grandfather passed away today. We  called him "Avo"  which is grandpa in Portuguese .  He had been in a nursing home for awhile and he had not met Samantha yet because we didn't want her around all the icky nursing home germs. But a few weeks ago we decided to have him meet her outside the nursing home and we are so glad we did! My husband took a picture of him and her that day and ironically it's the last picture ever taken of him. Seems fitting. The oldest member of the family with the newest. The circle of life.  We'll miss you Avo!**

Aww, I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss, but what a special picture and I'm sure a day full of memories you have with those two together.

Sorry for the loss of Matt's Grandfather. So happy they were able to meet and you could get a picture of the two of them before he passed.

ps. LOVE that pic of Sam!! If you order prints of it you should send me one :)

I'm so sorry. Isn't it crazy how we never know the last time we're doing something until it's in the rear view mirror. It's such a good reminder to enjoy every second. Tell your husband I'm sorry. :(
