Growing pains

Josslyn lost her grandfather last week. 4-18-13. My heart is too sore and raw to write much. There is so much I need to share with her about who she is and from where she comes. I need for her to understand how much her Grampy loved her and how proud he was. When she suddenly has an urge to fight for the underdog, sings her favorite songs over and over, finds beauty and depth in the simplest of words, or loses her patience with virtually everything: she will know my father lives deep inside her.
