Goodbye to Big Daddy

My grandfather passed away late on Friday night. We drove down to Mexia first thing on Saturday morning to be with the family and help make arrangements. David spent the entire day running around the ranch and the barn with the 14 great grandchildren that Big Daddy (what we called him) was survived by. The sad thing is - this was the first time was really old enough to run around and enjoy the country life. He had a blast. I am so sad that we have not been down there more to visit in the last few years. Between work and marriage and the kid, there is just never any time...so it seems. I am still trying to figure out how to make it all work. At this point, I am not sure if it is the fact we live a few hours away or because the particular careers we have chosen, but it seems hard to find the time to do anything these days. I am thinking we need to find a way to change that....

Here is a video that I put together for the funeral. Although I have not been around as much as I like the past few years, I grew up in the house next to my grandparents and they were such a big part of my life. It is so sad that they are both gone.
