Sad Day

Yesterday I lost my Grandpa. My kids lost their Pop Pop.
This world is just a little dimmer without his amazing light and wonderful spirit.
He loved family. He loved children. Family loved him, and children especially loved him. He was so integral to my life, as well as the lives of my children. I love him and will miss him immensely.

I wish there was more I could say about my beloved Grandpa. However, I am having a hard time finding the words worthy of such a great man.

    My most sincere condolences. They take a little piece of us when they carry on. I hope you can find some peace during this difficult time.

    That picture of Gavin and him is a treasure. It is beautiful and how lucky you are to have it. He sounds utterly amazing just like all your family. Know that I am here for anything you need. I love you.

    I'm so sorry, Ashley. What a wonderfully long (though not long enough, I'm sure) & full life he must have lead. You're in my thoughts & prayers. (((hugs)))

    I'm so sorry. I only met your grandpa once and I could tell how much he loved his family. The joy you all brought him and what an amazing man he was. Take care.

    Those pictures are priceless. I'm so sorry. It's such a blessing to have such amazing grandparents, but that's also what makes it so hard to say goodbye to them. Please let me know if there's anything you need, (and I'm still petitioning to take your girls if you'll let me!)
