An Awkward But Sweet Goodbye

My father's dad recently passed away. I have been to very few family events on my dad's side. I think it has a lot to do with having divorced parents and divorced grandparents. There are just too many branches taped onto that tree to keep tract of everyone.

The funeral was interesting. I've never been to the funeral of a police officer. It was really nice. I'm glad I made and was able to meet relatives I never knew existed. I was also happy to be there to support my dad. It seems that his relationship with his dad has had some rocky days.

This experience made me realize how important it is to build a family that will always be close. I want to not only know my grandchildren one day, I want to be a big part of their lives.

The trip to Alpine also taught me that Noah gets horribly car sick. 3 outfits later my little man and the car was clean but smelled awful.
I'm really glad I got a picture of my dad and all of his siblings.
