For those of you who may not know, my dad and Addie's Poppy passed away last Sunday. We are so very grateful for the short time that she had with him. Dad had been sick for four and half years with cancer. He was a trooper and fought so hard for all of us. We kept giving him milestones to fight toward and the last one was Addie's birth. After her delivery, he seemed to just get worse.
After speaking with one of friends who lost her grandfather at a young age, she told me that her and her sister had heard so many stories of her grandfather that it was like they knew him. They also missed him so much and had barely known him. These are the kind of feelings that I hope to instill in Addie about Dad.
My cousin Tammy made this slide show about Dad and I stole it from her myspace.
