Connecting the Generations

Photo-A-Day #3872

Andrew and Grandpa Bennett

Andrew and Great-Grandpa Bennett working on a song together. Andrew has been learning some songs at his pre-school including one, My God is so Mighty. We knew that he should sing it for Great-Grandpa Bennett. Well, he didn’t quite sing it when he was asked to but I did capture this moment between these generations when Andrew and his Great-Grandfather were going over some of the hand movements that go with the song. It was a cute moment where they connected through this song. We were at my Great-Aunt Millie’s house. I haven’t said much about this past week because I had been working on the photos for her memorial service. She passed away on Monday. I am grateful that when I came home from IZEAFest a few weeks ago I was able to visit her in the hospital and bring her a card that Eva made for her.

During the ceremony yesterday Eva, who is so very sensitive, cried through everyone’s tributes and the prayers. She hadn’t spent much time with Aunt Millie but she knew how sad everyone in the family was feeling and she is very open with her emotions. She even wrote a poem that she read last night to the family as we were gathered at my parent’s house.

That was yesterday, and so I was off work for the night. That meant that this morning I was actually awake a little bit for Church. We came over and went with my parents. After Church they took us for breakfast at Goochies. Then we ran off to Target for a birthday gift for one of Eva’s friends and a quick stop back home for Eva to change and we were back out again. We went over to Millie’s house for a little visit with Grandma and Grandpa. And that is when I snapped this little photo. Captureing a moment between Andrew Sr. and Andrew IV.
