**ring ring**
More than an unexpected phone call interrupts Alice’s game…
Nate was enjoying the fresh air outside while practicing his martial arts whe he heard an all too familiar sound… the Grim Reaper was somewhere nearby!
Nate runs inside and sees that the “house call” was for his mom, Alice.
Goodbye, Grandma Alice. You will be greatly missed.
Thursday was Spooky Day but the family didn’t feel like hosting a costume party nor did the kids express interest in going trick-or-treating so they opted for a quiet day together.
The Snyder family continued their tradition of getting a family portrait done at the holiday festival but left as soon as the picture was collected from the booth’s tray.
Grace suggested that they carve pumpkins as a way to show their loved ones that even in darkness (grief) there will always be the flicker of light (treasured memories) to lighten their hearts and lead the way.
