TG. Even to go 500 yards, I always strap in my 20 month grand daughter. It becomes just a habit, a good one.

Although this little girl may not remember her granddad into the future, she will always be reminded that his death was her life in a very unique way. In a way that any granddad would be proud. What a way to go.
