here's to you.

i hope i can live as happy as you always did.
i hope that when hard times come - i can be an anchor for my family just as you were.

i hope my smile is as contagious as yours.

i hope i can find a man as dedicated and loyal as you.
(and he better always look at me like you looked at grandma..)

i hope i can be as patient and loving with my kids as you were with yours.

i hope i can live at least one year as faithful as all ninety-seven of yours granpa.

we'll miss you.
