We will be leaving tomorrow to say goodbye for now to Great Grandma Waken. She was my boys' Great Great Grandma and we are so incredibly blessed to have had so much time with the first of 5 generations of Wakens. She was 98 years old and had such an amazing life. Just think for a moment about what life was like in 1909.

I remember the very first day I met Great Grandma. We were going to brunch and Jared was walking with her and I was a little in front. Great Grandma whispered (not very quietly at all) "Jared, that girlfriend of yours has some great legs!" LOL!

My boys were just smitten with her. As her health started failing they just loved to read to her and help her eat. She would just sit and watch them and I could see her just drinking them up with her eyes. How incredible it must be to know that this little child came from you 5 generations later.

If you ask Colton, he will tell you that Great Grandma is in heaven riding horses with God.
