Over The River and Through The Woods...

The greater Cornwall Christmas of 2013 was not the traditional - everyone  come to Grandpa's house in La Canada all at once on Christmas afternoon.  Instead the holiday visits were divided into individual family groups, each with their own slot throughout the week.  This fit in nicely and appropriately with grandpa's final chemotherapy session at City of Hope on Dec. 27th (and cousin Travis' wedding also on the 27th in northern Calif.). Aunt Cherie set up the equipment to ask grandpa "journal jar" questions from each family member and video the answers.  This provided a sweet opportunity to focus on the special gift all of us in the family enjoy of heritage of a wonderful father and grandfather.
