Thank You

Thanks to everyone who read and responded to yesterday's post.

It was difficult to write only because I didn't want to sell Grandad's amazing life short.

In the end I focused on my memories of him and I can't wait to hear more from his other family members' point of view.

Again, this blog and everyone who reads it have given me such an amazing gift.

I would never have taken the time to reflect so thoroughly.

Or to browse through so many beautiful photos.

Or {let's face it} to have such a good hard cry.

So again, thank you.

I did want to share some photos of the weekend still since it really was great.

The kids spent most of it almost entirely nude but I tried to censor the pics a bit for you.

We finished off the weekend watching the fireworks from our house then promptly passing out.

{I mean, staying up until dark in Edmonton is hard.}
