I love you grandpa. I’m so thankful for you. For your wisdom. For the way you intentionally chose to love me and make me feel included. You never treated me differently. You went out of your way on so many occasions to build a relationship with me and my family. You helped bridge so many gaps of unknowns for me over the years. I’m so thankful for you. I will forever remember your art of telling a good story, leaving nothing out, and painting the most vivid picture of whatever the event. I will never forget the moments we spent chatting about Ireland, your childhood, my Dad and his brother & sisters growing up and connecting so many pieces for me. You loved your family so well, especially Grandma. I pray my grandkids can say the same about me one day. Rest peacefully knowing that your legacy and life lives on through the hearts you’ve touched and the people you inspired. You were so smart, witty, kind and gentle. I’m thankful to have been your grand daughter.
