We have returned from our trip to Georgia. Edison did great on the flight. The reason for our visit, and the most special part, was Edison meeting his great grandfather, Papa. Unfortunately we couldn't take Edison into the nursing home because there was a stomach bug going around, but they did enjoy a little visit outside together. Edison was all smiles and Papa enjoyed telling Edison, "Boo!". Papa's memory has not been well lately, he has really declined since my grandmother passed away. He didn't know who I was at first but when I told him I was David's daughter and said, "Do you know who David is?" He responded, "Don't they call him Dinky", so he clearly knew who I was because he remembered Edison's nickname. We love you Papa.
Update (3/25): Please say a prayer for Papa who is in the hospital and not doing well.

Jen,
I missed ya on the board!
I am so glad the trip went well , and I just knew Edison would be a traveling champion. After all he's been through, what's a little airplane ride?
Glad for you that you had a good visit with your grandpa despite his medical problems.
Thanks for sharing!

Dinky won't remember, and Papa probably won't either, but their meeting was real and special - and Dinky will have the pictures to help him connect to his meeting with his great grandfather. Bless you all. love...
