today always reminds me of my grandpa bud. growing up on april first before school or shortly after arriving home the phone would ring - it would be grandpa bud exclaiming, "it is snowing in santa barbra!" some years i would remember it was april 1st and have a great come back. others i would forget and for a moment believe snow could actually fall in southern california in the spring.
today i just had to smile as i looked outside and saw snow falling in vancouver. my grandpa bud died when i was in elementary school but i imagine he asked the Father for a favor - "send snow to vancouver. it will make kristi smile."
the baby that grows inside of me we call bud in his honor. tim and i are praying our baby would have the courage, love for those others avoid or ignore, and random humor of grandpa bud.
so happy april fools from vancouver - where it really is (or was earlier) snowing.
