Time of Reflection
Today Aniyah is a week old....wow a week already. Today is also my grandparents wedding anniversary. We lost my grandfather, the man who raised me, four years ago. My grandparents were married for over 50 years before he passed away. He was and is the love of my life; I have a picture of him holding me as a small baby and his face is filled with so much joy and love for me. He made me feel that way my whole life; I miss him and now more than ever I miss him being here to surround my daughter with all that love that he gave our family. I imagine he would have just been beside himself with joy if he were here. Aniyah may not meet him on this earth but she will know him, she will know what kind of a man, a good man he was. I once had someone tell me that I would never get married because no one could be like my grandpa....He was right! So today my heart goes out to my grandma as I know it is difficult to move forward in a world that seems empty without the love of your life. We should all be so lucky to find that one person who touches your soul and loves you forever.

I know your exact feelings that you wish grandpa was here to see our children. I miss him everyday. I had the same thoughts when Matthew was born and I know that grandpa is watching Matthew and along with Zeya and Isabella. We have plenty of stories to tell them of how grandpa was a great man.
The feeling that yall both have i think we all have. Still til this day I think of grandpa everyday and it seems like yesterday that he was here. I know we might not b able to see him but i know he is here. I wish everyday that he could be here to meet the new kiddos but I thank God everyday that I have Caleb and he will b able to share all his story's with Zeya & the rest of them. I know that Caleb remembers everything him and grandpa shared together and he still calls grandma and crys becuz he misses him so much. Just remember share all u can with the kidz about grandpa so that he never fades away becuz he was a Great Man and Grandfather to all of us:)
