my beloved grandfather ♥️ I’m so grateful I saw you over the summer and that you met Jonah before going to the other side. I’ll always cherish all the memories of every Christmas watching the original ‘Christmas Carol’. I’ll never forget how FAST you could answer any jeopardy question and how cool it made me feel when I knew an answer faster than you did, which was a rare occasion. I miss you to pieces. you mean the world to me and tell Nanny I said “hey 💕”. I hope I made you proud.
rest in Paradise, Poppy. i’ll always love you.
