So this memorial day we decided since we were in Idaho we would go to my grandpa's grave. I hadn't been to that spot since his funeral in 1996. It was about a 2 hour drive to Idaho Falls where the cemetery was and though I knew the name of the cemetery I was planning on calling my grandma or using gps when we got close so I could find the spot. As fate would have it, on the way there was a huge thunderstorm and the batteries in both of our phones died so when we got there we had no idea where to go and the road that we were supposed to take was closed because it was covered in water. What happened next was a complete miracle. We just happened to find someone who knew exactly where the cemetery was and gave us amazing directions. Then we got to the cemetery and saw how huge it was and my heart just sank but we said a prayer and asked God to help us and it was like I knew exactly where to look and we found the grave right away. It was a really sweet experience for all of us to be there together and for Reid to "see Grandpa". Most of all it was a reminder to me that God is so aware of each of us. 
What a touching story! I love that nothing is exempt from being able to pray over it and that even the little things we pray about are answered. :) Sure miss that Grandpa.
