Another year has passed and I wish your grandchildren could have known you. I wish I could tease you about the grey hair now.....or the lack of hair at all...Ha Ha!
Our kids are all becoming grandparents now....wow! I'm trying to picture you without the hair...not working. Still a hole in my heart.
