( 5-25-2010) Hi Grandpa..I have cried for you more than a few times. I miss you so much. Has it really been 3 years since you left?! I think about you a lot but lately it's been even more..I wish you were still here. My kids would have loved you
I know Damon did with the short amount of time he knew you. I have 2 year old daughter now too. Her name is Lillian & she is a firecracker! You would adore her 
Mike & I are married now too! Going on 2 years (7 years total) You would be glad to know that he loves me & treats me like a queen 
Thanksgiving & Christmas isn't the same without you either..everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. I miss the big family get-togethers! But I think that I'm supposed to write a memory here..so here it goes: When I was little you had all us kids convinced that you had a button in yur nose!! You would "open" the garage door by pushing your nose. Little did we know..you had the actual clicker behind your back! HaHa That's something I will never forget & will share with my own kids. The other memory I have to share is: When I was about 5, during one of our family get-togethers Mick was chasing me through your house..we ran into the kitchen from the breeze way & I dove under the table & onto Beagles paw. He bit me on the face! But you were sitting right there at the table & it was to you that I went for. You picked me up & put me on your lap. I still remember feeling safe in your arms...you made it all better. I miss you so much. Everytime I see a John Deere something or other I always think of you on one of your John Deere toys
Remembering you today and always Dad
