We saw my dads grave first, then payed tribute to a friend of mine that served in the military before dieing in a motorcycle accident a few years ago, then we made our way up to grandma Smith's grave. We cleaned them all off from the grass wind storm earlier.
I am very sad that Brett never got to know my dad. I know my dad would have had so much love for him. It will be coming up on 10 years this August. I really can't believe that time has gone by so fast, or that I have now lived so long without him. He taught me a lot and he is still missed everyday.
I am also sad that I never got to know Grandma Smith. I know she was a wonderful woman. When I married into the Smith family, I had a ton of people tell me how great that family is and how great Vic was. My Nana and Papa were a couple of the people who told me this. They were in the same stake or ward with them or a while before she died. I want to thank her for raising such a wonderful family. I love them all so much. Her and Grandpa did a great job.

I always enjoyed visiting loved ones graves on memorial Day,Even though tender emotions always seem to overcome me. My thought are with you today.
I would have love to have met your dad! He sounds like an amazing person! Love you hope you are doing well. Take Care.
The dog thing will take a little while. Your first dogs space probably feels invaded. We also got our second one when she was a baby. Maybe that is the difference. Try and play with both of them at the same time.
These are just suggestions I remember doing with ours. Good luck.
