Goodbye, Granddad



Today is a very sad day. The (only) man you see above is my granddad. He passed away in his sleep today. He was 101 years old! Even though he had definitely lived his life, it is still very sad to think that the only grandparent I ever knew has passed on (both my grandmothers and my other grandfather were already dead when I was born). My grandfather was an amazing man...a man full of stories from his past. Granddad lived through WWI and fought in WWII. When I got married in 2005, granddad (at the age of 98) flew across the world, from New Zealand to the U.S., specifically for my wedding. That was the most special wedding gift anyone could have ever received. That also was the last time I saw him. He will be greatly missed. I love you, granddad! 7/27/1907-9/12/2008

Oops...I just realized that my nephew is in one of the pics above (along with my other nieces). I must post that the pictures were taken by Jennifer Hughes Photography.
