Riley's Glasses


This child cracks me up with his costumes. His current favorite outfit is this police costume. He has practically worn it everyday since Halloween. He even has a pair of "police glasses" that make him look so cool, according to him. The other day he put these on and it hit me - he looked just like Brad's dad, Boyd! From pictures I have seen, he use to wear those black-rimmed glasses that were in style back in the day. I've always thought that Riley looks like Brad and Brad looks like his dad but I never realized the resemblance between Riley and his grandpa. Boyd died when Brad was 13 years old so I really hate that he never got to see his kids grow up and never got to meet his grand kids. I thank God that he was a Christian and Brad will see him again someday and we will finally get to meet him!

I remember Boyd when I was little staying at Pat's. He would ride us in the back of his pickup. He was such a loving father. I see alot of him in Brad and Riley. I think that is awesome that his presence is here with all of you. He would have been a great grandpa!
