Grandpa Leon



This morning my sweet Grandpa Leon passed away in Utah, and while I am so sad and my heart hurts for my mom and my grandma, I can't help but think about how blessed I am!! I am so forunate to be nearly 25 years old and have all 4 of my grandparents in my life until now. I was also so tremendously blessed to grow up within a 10 minute drive of all of my grandparents. They have been a part of every major event in my life! From piano recitals, to graduations, to my wedding...they've been there for everything and I have absolutely loved and appreciated that. I'm especially grateful today for Grandpa Leon and the good life he led. I will remember him for his hardworking personality, his bright blue eyes, his Porky Pig impression, and his sweet sense of humor. He is truly an amazing man, and I will miss him so much.
