Mom has many pictures of family and friends all around our house. This week Ella pulled one picture of Mommy and Gramp off the window sill and kept pointing to a very tall man. After some repitition Ella was able to point to Mommy or Gramp when Mom asked. This was so exciting that Mom called Gram to let her know. We both thought the same thing- even though he isn't here, he will always be a big part of Ella's life. Gramp is much more than Ella's namesake, he is an example of hard work, strength, careful thought, and committed love. (Plus he always was a great eater, and threw in bit of stubborn will for good measure).
Remember your heroes today. Reach out to whoever is important to you. Hug your babies.

I can honestly say that I will never know a person that has treated his family, his friends and his country the way Ella's great grandfather had. I hope we will be able to show her even a glimmer of the character that he had each and every day of his life. I really miss him too Jenn and I know right now he's thinking of his little Ella.
