We lost Alyssa’s grandpa (Amy’s father) to Lung Cancer on 8/3/11. Even though they didn’t have a ton of time together Alyssa and her Grandpa bonded. He lovingly referred to her as “Lil Bit” and he repeatedly told me to “Love the *#%$% outta her.” He did puppet shows for her using her stuffed animals from his hospice bed and she would giggle wildly.
She would hold his hands and try to dance with him too. He was a very happy and proud Grandpa. Alyssa was his first and only grandchild. He spoiled her and they both loved every moment together.
He will be greatly missed.

I am sorry to hear about Amy’s father but was excited to read your blog. My husband and I are getting ready to start the adoption process (most likely for Columbia) and it’s wonderfully helpful to read others’ journeys. Thank you for sharing!
