Grandpa

We had a difficult conversation at dinner last night. Somehow, Trey and Brooke started talking about grandparents. Brooke eventually looked at me and said, "what are your parents names?" I told her their names and then she asked what she would call them. I told her that mom was Grandma Pat. Then I paused for a minute and said, " I don't know what you would have called my dad." During this conversation, my heart was breaking. I was so close to my dad and so wish he could be here so my children would know him.

Well, Brooke took about 10 seconds before she responded. She said, "I'll call him Grandpa." It is hard to believe she is only 3 years old. I did have to fight hard to keep the tears from flowing after that.
