3 years ago...

Another year has gone and passed that we've been without my Granddaddy. Right before he passed on 1/14/09, I was able to share our exciting news about expecting a baby girl. He had always hoped for a boy, but the good Lord only blessed him with girls! Lots of girls- 2 daughters, 3 granddaughters and at the time, a soon-to-be great-granddaughter. This anniversary has been a little more difficult for me than the last two though. I think about him each night as I glance at his picture before bed and just wish some how that I could share my secret. That I could tell him we finally were going to grace the family with a bouncing baby boy. I'm sure he already knows- probably knew before we did, but I would love to hear his response towards the news this time. I'm sure he would be delighted beyond words...probably even say, "Whoopee," and clap with a big grin on his face. He was the best grandad and it breaks my heart that our kids will never know him. "I wish heaven wasn't so far away..."
