The Bare Family

My daddy has lost his battle with lymphoma tonight. He passed about 11:30. Though we knew that this was coming and was doing our best to prepare for it my heart is completely broken. This is the man who has guided me as a single parent for half my life. I just hate that he suffered as much as he did, no one deserves to go through anything like this. I still don't know what we're going to tell Zane, though we've tried to prepare him as well. I know this is going to make his little heart hurt, he loves his grandpa so very much. And it upsets me that Peyton will never remember who he was. He loved them both so very much. At least I know he was greeted with many family and friends welcoming him home.... Please pray for our family during this devastating time.

This morning Dean swore into the Air National Guard. Right now we're planning on him leaving about May if everything goes smoothly. So proud of him.

We had planned to do a cookout today with friends because dad was going to be in the hospital doing treatment this weekend and well with the recent changes he's actually home and feeling quite sick. But following dad's persistence that we not cancel our cookout here we are...

I seriously can't believe how fast these past 8 months have went!! Happy 8 months Peyton!!
