poppa loves ya.

One year ago today I got the news that my Poppa had passed away. 
This day one year ago was the beginning of the worst year of my life. It was also the last time I will ever get to see my beautiful cousin Jodi. Today was not an easy day for me, and I just want to share so much love to all of my family, wherever they may be today, especially Nan.

I don't really feel like saying a lot so I'll just say it with some photos celebrating a little bit of me and Poppa. I really miss Christmas and birthdays and chats waiting to hear that gruff and strong but gentle voice loudly saying 'okay then, Poppa loves you!' without fail, every time. I know - I love you too!

He always loved to do things with all of us grandchildren!
Best of all, he could always be counted on for a good snuggle. 
One of the softest and most loving men that have ever existed.
This to me is the ultimate Poppa photo - most of my memories involve camping in the
mountains, he loved it almost as much as he loved his family!

I hope everyone can take a moment today to show the people you love, and remember how lucky we all are to be here each and every beautiful moment of every day.

Namaste.
