This is my adorable grandpa and grandma Burroughs. They are my mom’s parents. This picture was taken at my parents house last year during Christmas (obviously the santa hat and decorations kind of gives that away). I love my grandparents very much. I wouldnt be where I am without them! My grandpa turned 89 this year. He still drives his tractor all around the fields dragging up dead trees and anything else that doesnt belong in the pasture. Him and my uncle Walter, who is 92, still talk every night on the phone at 9:00 on the dot and spend a lot of their free time fixing their gardens and doing lots of things that most people their age couldnt dream of doing! My grandma will be 85 this year. She isnt able to get around as good as she used to but her mind or her faith havent slowed down a bit. Both her and my grandpa are God fearing people and have done their best to instill that into my sisters and I since we were little. She was recently told by her Dr. that they spotted a new mass in her colon. Since she has a history of colon cancer they suspected that it was a new onset malignant tumor. They did blood work which also came back suspicious so her Dr. told her to have a PET scan done to check for more cancer cells. When she went for her PET scan a few days agao everything was gone! No tumors, no abnormal cells, no abnormal blood work…just perfect healthy things! Her Dr. said he could not explain what happened or where the tumor went. She told him that God can do anything and that she had a lot of people praying for her. Her Dr. is not a believing man but maybe by Gods great blessing on her he will have a little glimpse of our all powerful, gracious, and loving Lord! I know thats more than a picture description but I just love my grandparents so much and wanted to share a bit about them as well!!

Now I tag Shelly, Chelsea, Alisha, and Shannon!!
