A Tribute to Grandpa Don

A good man left this life yesterday, September 30th. Don Harper married Dixon's mom 7 or 8 years ago and has left a legacy of love with our family. He jumped right into his role as Grandpa of three rowdy little boys, eventually growing to six crazy kids, with little prior experience. He spent hours looking at ants with Landon. He searched for lizards with Porter. He explained stuff to Hayden that nobody else cared about--or understood for that matter. He played with and read to the little kids. He was so generous to my kids and always treated them as if they were his own flesh and blood. He showed unconditional love to a family that barged into his home and raised the decibel level to previously unimaginable levels. He showed patience beyond what any human should be able to display. We love you and will miss you, Grandpa!
