Grandpa,
I miss you so much. I think about you all the time. Cody asks about you. I tell him that you are watching him from heaven. He wants to know if you will be coming down. I tell him that we will see you again someday.Emily will point to a picture and say papa. I won’t let them forget you. Grandma goes to my softball games on Friday nights and we take her to church on Sunday mornings. Sometimes I will sit in your usher seat in the back of the church just to feel close to you. I love you grandpa.
Heidi
