In November 2011 I started writing stories and publishing photos about my seven grandchildren.

Blogs about you.

I’ve written hundreds of them over the past decade. Every month, every year, for 10 years. At an average of three blogs per month per grandchild x 12 months x 7 grandchildren x 10 years, this brings the approximate total to over 2,500 blogs – if I did my math correctly (always suspect!).

It’s become one of the most gratifying things I’ve ever done.

There are so many special moments – from ordinary to life changing – I’ve been able to capture and share.  You’ll be able to look back and read the stories of who you were, what you did, the funny or amazing things you said and how you transformed from a little kid to an adult. It’s my legacy gift to you.

When I wrote your very first blog, 10 years ago, here’s what I said:

I created this blog for you to capture the stories of your life, the ones that express your spirit and feed my Papa soul.  It will be a fun ride we take together.  You’ll always be a special part of me and I will always love you very much.

What a blessing having you in my life.  The moments we’ve shared together will be with me always, even when I’m no longer here. Believe this. You mean everything to me.  Love you to Pluto and back. I’m the luckiest Papa in the world.
