As he started rubbing my foot, Ruby didn't like it and started fussing and rolling on the floor, She was close by me, so I started rubbing her back. It was so cute. Even after Nick left the room, she stayed close enough to me so I could keep rubbing her back. She didn't look at me the whole time, but she would roll to one side, then another, then sit up, then lay back down. If she rolled so far away that I couldn't reach her, she would scoot herself back. This continued for more than twenty minutes.
I loved it. Her grandpa, our friend Matt, died before she was born, and as I was rubbing her back I felt like I was doing it for him. It was just one of those moments.
Gary captured it from around the corner with this picture.

I love this story. Except the hurt foot part. Gary did a good job--I hope you will put this in your personal history.
Never in my life did I ever think I would say this......I miss Matt, and hope he is doing good. Its hard when good friends face hard discissions in there life and you can't be there to help them? Thanks Annette, for helping his grandkids.......Oh and by the way if you want the swelling to go down in your foot "PUT ICE ON IT"
