I don't know you in the traditional sense (I've followed along on your blog for several months now), but I know what it's like to lose a loved one and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Your Grandpa's spirit is evident in the photographs you shared... and it lives on in you and in everyone he loved.
Hey Jen,
Im probably the suckiest friend alive and the mere fact that I have to keep up with you through you blog proves it! I'm so so sorry to hear about your Grampa. I know your faith will help you through this hard time. I take my boards tomorrow and hope to be less MIA so we can catch up!
