Chad thought Diddy hung the moon. They shared a special bond...especially when it came to cheating at Monopoly! They were always on the same team, and you could always count on them to find a way to steal from the bank. They loved to trash talk. And one time on the golf course, I don't know how it happened, but Chad ran him over with a golf cart. They always had a good time together...and a story to tell afterwards!
Diddy was absolutely head-over-heels about his great-granddaughters. He didn't live to see his great-grandsons, but it would have thrilled him to pieces to have two little guys to wrestle around with.
Taylor was not even 4 when he passed, but she was oh so tenderhearted and aware of what was going on. I remember driving in the car after the funeral, and she told me she wanted to spend the night with Nana so she wouldn't have to sleep alone. It broke my heart.
There is a great big void without Diddy...but he is home now.
Thank you, Diddy, for leaving a legace of love. We love you!
Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.
Proverbs 17:6

I remember Diddy...so true that great grandparents are a blessing from God. So happy Chad and you have such wonderful memories of him
Beautiful post! Brought tears to my eyes...lost my grandparents way too soon, but that bond is the best!
