Goodnight on your 70th birthday Grandpa!
Thanks for loving us unconditionally. We like you and love you.
You are a role model of the highest sort. Trusted and admired.
You represent integrity, intelligence, hard work and fun.
A friend with electronics and dolls and cars and pennies and patience.
Dedicated. Loyal.
Hugs and smiles. Selflessness.
Happy Birthday!
School pictures arrived.
Abby, loving her teacher, asked for a photo.
Today in her cubby, a special envelope.
She opened it with pride, not letting it go. The gift she’d requested.
We’d hang it on the refrigerator, I said, where the other prize pictures are presented.
Disagreeing, she immediately responded with a desire to decorate her door.
Art added. Now posted.
Day 2.
Admiring the beauty.
Holding the hands of Grandma.
Admiring the nails of a person she admires so much.
Hey – a fun fall football night!
Andy. Takin’ em on from all angles…defense, offense and amidst his biggest fans.
A perfect autumn evening.
All smiles.
All impressed.
Walking in his shadow.
Holding his hand.
A picture perfect presentation of peace and admiration.
Abby was so excited as we sped to the show.
“I play piano,” she exclaimed!
Admiration.
She will play piano and soccer and basketball and baseball…anything to emulate them.
My daughter wants to be just like her cousins; what more could I ask for. Real role-models.
Happy. Talented. Respectful. Caring. Smart.
The piano recital was beautiful and highlighted their hard work.
