Behind The Blog

My Grandpa passed away when I was a freshman in college. Just after he passed on, Grandma was going through his closet and found a list of things Grandpa had wanted to accomplish before he died. On the list were things like owning a rental home, raising a family and a number of other things he had accomplished. The final item on the list was the goal to take Grandma to Brazil where he had served a mission for the LDS church as a 19-year-old boy. At the time he passed away, Grandma and Grandpa had been home from their own mission to Brazil for two months. Grandpa did it. He finished his Bucket List. And he inspired me to complete my own.
