Oh my! I realize that, as your Dad, I could legitimately be judged as biased—but this is (objectively speaking) an extraordinarily beautiful and (subjectively speaking) a deeply moving tribute to Grandad (a.k.a. Dad G). Tears are welling up in my eyes. I’m keeping it. Thank you, dear Hannah, for this.

I love you <3

Did you hear us reminisce this past weekend about how when pluto was deemed a "dwarf" planet, he put dwarf in quotation markes in his emails XD That fact fills my heart! As a true student of science he included it's new classification correctly by putting dwarf there at all, but as Grandad, he stuck to his guns that pluto is a fully fledged planet!

Wow. Your ability to translate what you are feeling and experiencing into words, so beautifully, and relatable should stop astounding me at some point. But here I am again. My heart hurts for all of you, but I am so thankful to you for continuing to allow us to walk (even if a few paces behind) this with you. Sending you so much love and many prayers.
