My Grandpa


I was hoping that my first experience ever blogging would be more light hearted and that I could showcase my amazing humor. However, I wanted to take a moment to remember my Grandpa.

I never thought that when I stopped by my grandparents home just last monh to say hi, that it would be the last time I saw my grandpa in this life. While I have spent over the last 10yrs outside of UT I am so grateful that I took every opportunity to strenghten my relationship with my grandparents.

My grandpa is an amazing person. A true example of hard work, overcoming odds, someone who geniunely cares and sacrifices for others. I remember him traveling to see my sports activities, calling me on my birthday, and always taking an interest in my life. I am especially glad for the time I spent with them post college graduation before I moved to NY.

Thank you grandpa for your example and the lessons you've taught me. You have been such a great example and should be so proud of all you have accomplished, especially your amazing posterity. Love you always!!!
