So I know this online guestbook is silly, and obviously no one even knows it exsits except me. But thats ok. I cant believe its been almost a year, I miss you every day Pop. Grandma is doing good, she moved, and seems happy. Your old house finally sold, it was hard letting it go, but it was what Grandma wanted. The holidays were really hard without you. Aunt Judy said grace at thanksgiving dinner, which we had at Carries house. I had a hard time at dinner, it wasnt the same without you. We didnt even celebrate Easter last year, Grandma was moving, so everyone helped her, and then we went to Baughers. Christmas was really hard too. Daddy, Grandma and I exchanged presents at the old house, Daddy made Grandma cry when he gave her her present, which was this really beautiful bracelet from the antique mall. I'm sure you would have bought it for her if you were still here. But she got all flustered and told him that he shouldnt have bought it, and that it was too much. Really she was happy, she deserves the world, and the last year has been really hard on her. On christmas, she gave Daddy an Eagles necklace that was yours, and she gave me a pin that was your mothers. I think we all cried a little bit, but it will get easier. The only thing that got me through christmas day was knowing that you are in Heaven, and you were probably at Jesus' birthday party, having a blast. Oh yeah, I got into college, I am going to go to the Art Institute of Philadelphia, to be an interior designer! I know you would be proud of me. There is only 3 more months until I graduate, that day is going to be hard, I never imagined you not being there when I graduated, but I suppose you will be right up there with me, helping me to not trip over myself when I walk across the stage. Ok, well, I Love You, and I miss you like crazy. I'll see you soon.

I Love you Pop! We will miss you so much, but you are in a better place and we all just need to remember that. Daddy and I will take good care of Grandma for you. She misses you too. I'll see you in Heaven.
