happy birthday, dad + grandpa

Today my dad would have been 70.  Wow, 70 years old.  I just can't believe he has been gone for 19 years.  I wish with my whole heart that he could have met Jason and Alexi.  Significant days like today are harder than others, but my heart aches a little bit every day.  Miss you, dad.

Also today my grandpa would have been 101.  I also wish he could have met my wonderful husband and sweet daughter.  I am so thankful Alexi was able to have a strong relationship and connection with Gigi though.  It is tough that Gigi was the only great-grandparent Lexi was able to meet.  We really wish she could have met my grandpa and Jason's grandparents.  We miss them all.
