17 years ago yesterday (january 23), my grandpa died. my mom's dad. he's the one i get my height from. i remember the funeral. it was winter, in colorado. it was snowing. i think about him from time to time, but know that he's kickin' it up in heaven and i'll get to see him again one day.

on a lighter note, 4 years ago today (january 24) was paige & paul's first date at hayes barton cafe in five points. happy!
