in memory of Papa

There's a hallway at Children's that's always sobering when walking to the cafeteria from the floor...plaques line the walls with names and names-Seattle Children's Memorial Wall. We've walked this long hallway hundreds of times. After Bryan's dad passed away, in lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to be sent to Seattle Children's in honor of Randy. So in May, when we had Maddie's cardiology appointment, we walked that hallway again, holding hands with a healthy, skipping, little blonde beauty to look for Papa's name.

It's an honor having his name in such a special place and will be a long-lasting reminder of his legacy for years to come. Our entire family's gratitude to Seattle Children's is never-ending...
