my pappa don

on sunday, gampa surprised me by introducing me to the whole congregation at church. i have never seen so many faces all at one time. but i was comforted (and even smiled) when i heard gampa talking...i would know that voice anywhere - strong, secure, and comforting. it was kind of fun being shown off. i guess they are all really proud of me!

after church, mommy and daddy took some quiet time with me to "introduce" me to pappa don. he is my great grandfather (gampa's daddy). i am very sad that i actually will never know him in person as he passed away ten years ago. but mommy tells me stories about him and knows that pappa don would have loved me very much! this is a picture of the three of us at the memorial marker and garden dedicated in memory of him at the church/school (greats and pappa don were members of heights for many years and worked at the school, too). i know that based on all the stories mommy tells me, i really would have liked spending time with pappa don.
