It is my hope that you that you will always know how much we love and treasure you. It's been three years since I first held you in my arms at the hospital. It was an extraordinary feeling, much like the feeling I had when I first held your brothers for the first time. You took my breath away. I knew you would be cute. I knew you would be special but I was overwhelmed with how quickly you would captivate my heart. You become more and more precious to Grandpa and me with each passing day. It melts my heart when you smile and run to me. You are curious and so smart. I love to hear you sing and talk about Sheriff Callie. I love tubby time and no more monkeys. I love to comb your hair and put lotion on your cheeks, and say soft, soft. It's so cute when you ask Alexa to play a song and then say "resume." You can take some great selfies with my phone and like to text Grandpa a few messages. I love when I sing, you are my sunshine to you and you whisper, you make me happy. You like to play games and say the best prayers. You and Grandpa are best buddies. He loves you so much. The past few years you have helped Grandpa take care of the garden. You especially love the cherry tomatoes. It's been so fun to watch you experience new things.
Your great-grandfather, whose middle name you bear always used to say, "Don't worry if you fall on your face, at least you know you are going in the right direction!" Never give up on your dreams. He would also tell me to "Remember that God has a plan for your life." I know He has one for your life too Grahm. I know Grandpa Ivan is watching over you as one your guardian angels.
