There is picture that sits above my father's desk at home. The picture is of a man sitting on a tractor with a little boy on his lap. I smile every time I see that picture. The man in it was Fred Cash, and the little boy is Fred's son, my dad.

Though you passed long before my time on this earth, I love you very much. Thank you for always being my guardian angel, Grandpa Fred.

Until we finally meet at the gates of Heaven,

Faustina Cash
