"The Merediths"

My dad and I share many similarities, starting with our middle names. I really love my name. Has someone ever asked you what you'd rather have as a name? I can never answer, because I like mine, Shay Meredith, just the way it is.  Not only do we share middle names, I found some old photos of my Dad this week at my parents' house, and was shocked at the similarity of these poses. Uncanny, I think! {This is me on the left and my Dad on the right.}

 

My dad's dad, "Pops" (his first name is Meredith!) has been in the hospital this week getting a pacemaker. (Valentine's week irony, I suppose.) I post often about my Mom's side of the family because I see them a lot (and love it), but not much about this smaller (but equally sigificant) side of my fam. Pops has been on my mind a lot this past week and thankfully is doing better after his surgery. We've had so many close friends praying for him and even visiting him this week in Virginia, and for that we are so touched and very grateful.
