Ashley is such a Daddy’s girl!  She loves him so much!  We like to sit outside on the front porch and wait for Van to come home from work.  As soon as he pulls into the driveway she starts bouncing up and down.  She gets so excited to see him!  She laughs and smiles just at the sight of him.  It’s really sweet!  Being a Daddy’s girl myself, I know first hand the special bond between a little girl and her father.  I think Ashley has already formed that bond with Van and I can’t wait to see their relationship grow as she gets older.

I am also thankful that Ashley has both of her grandfathers here with us.  Unfortunately, I never met either one of my mine (and neither did Van) so I can only imagine would it would have been like to have them in my life.  I know they are watching down on me from heaven and I will meet them one day.  So I am very grateful that Ashley can grow up with both of her grandfathers.  What a lucky little girl!
