Dawson said to me today... "Here are my plans for the future..."


"Marry Mackayla because that will make her Heather's neice"

"Go on Biggest Loser, so I can lose a little weight...."

"Go on Let's make a deal, so I can win some money to pay for yours and Dad's retirement...."

Thanks, Dawson!

New Year's Day....

We walked over to Huddle House (it's right next door to where we stayed) and ate breakfast.... After breakfast, we made a run to Walmart and then we went to Steve and Delayna's (My oldest brother and sister-in-law) house to hang out with eveyone for a while.... We had to be at the Funeral Home by 4:30pm, so we went back to our motel and got ready....

After Pop's Visitation we went to eat at this Mexican Restaurant in Ripley and then everyone wanted to go play games at the Church.... David and I decided to go to our motel... It was cold and the kids were tired and so were we...

My cousins: Waylon, Wendelyn,

Crystal and her husband Philip....

My cousins: Stephanie, Jerrod and his fiance Nicole....

New Year's Eve....

We left last Monday evening for Ripley. Ms.... My grandfather's visitation was on Tuesday evening and his funeral was on Wedneday afternoon, so we went down on Monday to spend a little time with my family..... We arrived in Mississippi around 9:00 pm - my uncle was having a District Youth Service for New Year's Eve, so went there and stayed for a little while and then we went to our motel - we were very tired....

Dawson got a hold of my camera and he decided to take some pictures of our family - these are the pictures he got...

In loving Memory of Richard Franklin Mcknight....

I got news yesterday that my grandfather passed away around 6:30 am on Sunday morning.... I know he's much better off - even though it doesn't make it any easier.... He's not been well for the last little bit and so I thought I'd prepared myself enough, but I guess you can never really prepare yourself for death.... My heart is heavy today - he was the greatest man I've ever known... He was the only father figure I had in my life for 13 years and I have so many memories of him and my granny! He was a faithful man - he lived what he preached! He always treated my granny and our family with the utmost respect.... He got to where he would just cry and cry when we would go to see him - it was about all I could take.... So I know he's much better off! It saddens me once again, that my children will never know him they way I knew him! Jackson will never remember him..... I know he's much happier and not suffering and for that, I'm very thankful!

I love you Pop and I'll miss you!!!! Here are a few pictures I already had saved on my computer of my grandfather!
