Today marks one year since you left us. I am not sure what else to say. We all miss you terribly, not a day goes by that I don't think of something I would like to call and tell you. The kids talk of you often. At any event or special gathering, no matter how big or how small someone always mentions that you aren't there. Your quiet presence is always missed. The older kids especially will often say, "Grandpa would really like this". They still carry their "flat Grandpas" to make sure you are there. Noah is constantly thinking about you and loves keeping close the things you loved and taught him. James talks to you nightly as he is falling asleep. Ben wishes you were here playing with him. Audrey requests we sing "You Are My Sunshine" every night because, "It was Grandpa's favorite." The rest of us are trying hard to live by the example you set for us. At each ethical/emotional crossroads we think, "What would Dad do?". The answer is always to be kind and to always show up. We are trying. We miss you here more everyday. We love you!
