Steve and I took a walk along the beach. I stopped , took a breathe and looked out just as a raindrop hit my check. I took a pic as one side was clear and bright and the other cloudy and gray. Both beautiful. I picked up a few rocks and tried to skip one as you used to. So many memories come flooding in. Miss you❤️

We miss you so much Dad. I went on a walk today and felt your comforting presence surrounded by so much beauty.
I loved how Mom always fussed with your hair, your beautiful smile. And so much more.

Although I haven’t met any of the family (other than Jonah), I got to hear about Wayne, almost on a weekly basis as Jonah trained me at the gym. Discussion about family was always top of mind, and grandparents were always first on the list of updates each week. It is easy to see how Jonah’s face lights up when talking about his nana and papa. Our family is sending strength and love to yours. Love, Nori, Teddy, Elle, Emmy and of course, Bobo.
