Dad is the oldest of 11 kids. Mom and Dad have 7 kids. Between us 7 there are 29 grandchildren. That's a lot of Roses!So as you can imagine, we have had a house full. It can get pretty chaotic when we are all together and we always ask Dad if he wants us to leave or take the kids upstairs, but he likes having the family nearby. Sometimes he just closes his eyes and listens as we reminisce, tell jokes and laugh; other times he participates in the conversations. But he's always ready to give the kids hugs, hold them as they nap and share his treats. We love him so much and we are all so grateful for him and his love for our family. He and Mom are the glue that hold this amazing family together. We love each other so much and we love our Daddy and Grandpa!
Thank you for your continued thoughtfulness, prayers and concern. We will keep updating the blog so please keep checking and leaving comments. Dad and Mom read them together every night. My deepest and most sincere gratitude goes out to all of you who are reading this. Please know how appreciated you are.
My husband and I just want to thank you for the amazing daughter that you have raised. She chose the perfect husband and together they have blessed our lives through their examples and service to their Heavenly Father. We are the Jones' from Diana and Conway's ward in Kapolei, Hawaii. We think your grandkids are adorable and would love to steal them away any time Diana and Conway need to be alone. ;) Our only grandchild lives in Virgina so we "adopt" as many little ones as we can. We are praying for you that you will find comfort and strength during this great trial in your lives. Love, Kevin and Tina Jones
