Papa & Garrett by cdonohoue

Papa & Garrett

Had to get my upload in for the day. We just got back from Indianapolis. We had such a great day with Garrett. We went to the park that is about a block from his new house. Then the three of us went to see "Wreck It Ralph" (save your money). After the movie we included Michael and Michele and we all went to Red Robin for burgers. Just a wonderful day and we will get to see them again on Thanksgiving.

Now this move is getting real and a bit more difficult for me. Hard to leave him today. This one is so mine. I was there when he came into the world and watched him take that first breath. I look at him and think of all the ones that I loved that live on in him. Michael & Michele weren't going to have any children. Michele's daughter Ashley was 16 when they married and they just didn't feel it was in the cards. They bought a house a few years later with five kids next door - a three year old little girl that they fell for hard. So, thanks to Noel, they decided they wanted a little one of their own. What a blessing.
Great story Cathy and super photo of them both.
