For Paul's 30th Birthday, I decided to make a scrapbook full of pictures, memories & messages from loved ones. 

I asked Grampy of course to do his message, on reading the message that he wrote to Paul, I sure didnt know where to look haha. 

The message read....''I'm keeping going, waiting & wanting to be a great grampy, get your skates on Paul''

Well it's safe to say, Paul always took his Grampy's advice .... 3 months later, the announcement came to the family that I was expecting & it made our day seeing Grampys face light up with joy at this news.

And now we have Lily....

I feel honoured & proud to have been able to give you a great granddaughter and fulfil your wish. The day we brought Lily to meet you was one of the best days of our lives, the love and happiness we could see in your eyes.

We will bring Lily up with all the memories we both shared with you and I thank you for being the best Great Grampy to Lily and always making me feel welcomed as part of the family, since the day I was introduced to you all.
