In Loving Memory

Last week was my Grandpa's beautiful funeral. And it was beautiful. The speakers did a wonderful job of portraying the person that he was, and that he would want to be remembered by. His love of the gospel, his love of his family and his friends, and his love of horses. He was a true cowboy. Hardworking, strong, and kind.  When I was little I spent most of my time hanging out with Grandpa, he always called me his right hand partner. He always made me feel so special. The days after his passing up to his funeral I had a really hard time accepting that he was gone. The funeral put me at peace though. Knowing I will see my Grandpa again. Like he would say, "Life is a journey, Death is going home." I will miss you Grandpa :)
