Remembering Grandpa Joe

Today we are remembering Grandpa Joe. He passed away on Saturday. Brock was very sweet when I was telling him about what happened he noticed the sadness in my voice and came over to give me a big hug and kiss. It's really amazing how much he knows and understands. Ryszard is with his family down in Pennsylvania for a few days and Brock and I are very sad that we are not with him. But we know that grandpa is in a much better place.
