Grandpa Kite was someone who really impacted my life. Between breakfast and lunch dates, overnights with him and grandma, to just sitting on the couch yapping at them both or dancing in his backyard. He was someone I knew as safe and he always made me feel so loved for who I am. He will live on in the stories I tell my kids and anyone who asks about him. I´m really glad I was able to be his granddaughter. I love you.
