Baby Girl

Dear Dad,

I've been thinking about you alot as Kimmy's due date approached, mostly because you'll never see this baby, just like you didn't get to see Max. Your first granddaughter was born yesterday. Mom says she looks just like Matt. In the midst of my errand running yesterday (no school for the boys, so I had to run home from work ASAP when Mom called) I stopped to visit you. I showed you the picture they texted me. I told you how much we miss you, especially now. We love Mark, but it hurts to know that you won't see Alyssa. I told you to keep an eye on Thrower, we know he's there with you. Mostly, I just cried about it all. Happy about the baby. Sad about Thrower. Missing you being Pop-Pop for the grandkids. This morning, Jarrett's computer was on. I just smiled and said Hi Dad as I shut it down. Mom says maybe we'll give to Alyssa so you can say Hi to her, too. Love you. Miss you.
