12 years...it seems like so long ago. Over time this day has become a happy day, not because we've forgotten, or because it hurts any less, but because we've chosen to enjoy each day and live like Grandpa would have wanted us to. For us, Mom has made it a day where we celebrate Grandpa in ways we can understand, and the best way we know how to celebrate him is by eating ice cream! This year is especially important because we need to catch Maxwell up on all things Grandpa Wayne. First and foremost, he needs to know that ice cream is one of the major food groups no matter what anyone else tells him. There was no argument on his part, just squeals so loud that we have no doubt Grandpa could hear him all the way up in heaven. We enjoyed every bite while listening to Mom share stories and answer questions about Grandpa. The only thing that would have made the day better would have been to have Grandpa Wayne there eating ice cream right along with us!

Grandpa would be so proud and full of love for you angels. I am sure he was looking down and wishing he could share that ice cream with you.
