Papa.


Ryan's grandfather passed away this past weekend. It's been an extremely tough time for everyone. It was rather quick, only a few months, and we are so grateful that he had time to say goodbye. He is done suffering and in a better place where he can watch down on all of us with his big Papa smile. :)

Papa was truly one of the most wonderful men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was so kind, generous and such a wise, wise man. I am so happy that Austin got to meet him and that he had the chance to meet Austin. He spent some precious time with Austin and it is comforting to know that his legacy lives on in Austin, the family and the newest addition that Charlie and Erin will soon bring into the world. He was truly the patriarch of the family and he will be greatly missed. We love you papa... as I tell Austin, "to the moon and back".
