Good-bye Grandpa John

This morning, my Grandpa John passed away. He was an incredible man whose kindness and generosity will always be remembered. As a grandpa, he was truly amazing. He spent so much time doing special things with us and he always let us know how important we were to him. He liked it when we would curl up with him in his big easy chair - a "little honey" on each knee - and tell him about our lives.

When we were in Ontario this summer, we went to visit Grandpa at the Veteran's hospital where he spent the last few years of his life. It was really important to me that Grady got to meet Grandpa John (Grady's middle name is John - named for his Grandpa).

We love you Grandpa and we'll always miss you.
