Hey Grandpa, I am 16 now I miss you so much I love you and I can't believe it has been 8 years I remember all the things we did, I miss when me and Dad and Matthew, Taylor, and Trey, lived with you and sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and we would watch NASCAR and you would sit and drink coffee, I miss that we would open presents with you by the tree and that when you and dad got us presents you would just sit and watch us play with them and smile. You always told my dad, ¨ I know that I can't play with them but just watching them run around and having fun and smiling makes me so happy." I miss you so much Grandpa and oh just so you know Aiyana is just how you said he would be, and Dad and Meranda are still together and they are happy and I love all my siblings that we have.
