grandpa joe

My cute Grandpa in the Mountains passed away. It has been years since I had spent time with him, and wish that I could have introduced all of my kids to him. 

Jeff and Deanna invited me to ride down to his funeral with them. We spent the drive catching up on life, and talking about growing up. I was glad that I was able to go with them, and have a chance to spend some extra time together.

It was a short and sweet service. They opened it up to whoever wanted to share memories of Grandpa Joe, and it was so fun to hear all of them. 

Left me wishing my kids had gotten to make memories of their own with him. Made me realize how important the little things are in life. Life is so short. Relationships are what make this life more enjoyable. I came home wanting to give more of myself to those I love, and make memories with them.
