I will always remember how Uncle Dick could draw anything we wanted him to. I enjoyed his stories about the farm, and how he always loved to take everyone out for ice cream.

The morning I was born, Richard woke up from a dream in which he was pregnant. Over the last 31 years I have shared similar moments with him, where despite our physical distance, we were connected.
Grandpa, I still feel connected to you and that makes me feel very lucky. I love you very much.
