My grandmother (Mamo) lives in an Assisted Living Home. Several days before Christmas, the home that she's living in had Santa come visit, and the residents were invited to have family members come. Mamo asked all the grandkids to bring the great-grandkids. The Oborns, Francis Family, us, and I believe Casey and Becky weren't able to make it, but most everyone else did. Mamo called me that night to say she had 21 great grandkids there. She was SO happy that everyone showed up to be with her.

Mamo, Santa, Snappy the Elf, and Kevin and Nikki's Kids. A lot of the great grandkids below...Let me re-cap the phone call:
"Hi Carlie, it's Mamo. I want you to know that someone you love just came to see me. (I'm thinking that could be any number of people). Her last name starts with H. (Okay...it's narrowing down). A....K....E....S....Jennifer Hakes!!!" Apparently, Jen and Jason went to visit Jason's grandmother, Mamo's sister-in-law, and then stopped in for a visit with Mamo. She was so excited to have been able to sit and talk to Jen that she called me as soon as she left. I can't be there to make those kinds of visits, but Jen did it for me. That's a real friend - the kind that leaves an imprint on your life, and usually on the lives of those you love. Thank You Jen.
