Not losing sight of what is really important

Today, my 93 year old grandfather passed away. He lived a long, happy life, married to my grandmother (surviving him) for 70 wonderful years, their marriage was a true inspiration. He was a great man...and during this season, let's remember that family is so very important.

I'll never forget the day my Grandpa came out to check out his granddughters new Porsche. He was so proud...and the moment brought tears to my eyes. I'll never forget his words..."If I could only drive again..." Friends...don't take anything for granted...ever.

The first week I had my yellow baby...


Each time I went back to Fresno, he always asked if I had driven the yellow beauty. He just loved to look at the car...I'm going to miss him.
