9 years gone. I was your 1st born, didn't get to spend as much time as I should have with you growing up. Wish things would have been different. Your 3 biological grandchildren are doing great! Wonderful jobs and families. I believe you would be proud. And the 5 grandchildren are such a pure joy to my life. Rest Easy Dad. I'll see you when I get there.
