My mother's father passed away when I was very young. Being his first grandchild, he and I were very close. I remember he used to live upstairs from us in our two-family house in Malden. I would visit him all the time and we would play with matchbox cars on his living room floor and have pasta with a ton of pepper. Sometimes, he would take me to work with him if it was a short trip. As inspiration to live every day to it's fullest, I always carry Papa's business card holder for my own business cards.
He never had the opportunity to meet Stefanie but I know that he would love her as much as I and the rest of my family do.
Papa, I want to dedicate this day to you. I love you and miss you dearly and I know that you are watching over us.
Love, George
