It’s been 10 months since my precious grandson passed away. I haven’t been able to write about him because I still struggle each and everyday to comprehend the devastating loss.  

I ask myself so frequently why Finn. I had the pleasure witnessing his many stages of childhood. When I would visit from out of town he would ask for my made up Spider-Man stories.  I would make up different characters and if I made a mistake he would let me know.  I only wished I had told him more.

He was so smart and had a great memory much better than than mine  lol  He was so easy to carry on a conversation with. He was wise beyond his years.

Finn loved to read, walk to town for candy, take care of pets.  He got to spend sometime with his Papi and myself in Park City, Utah. He took great care of our dog when he stayed with us. He flew by himself that year and had a very difficult time with his flight home. He was so brave. I think his flight was delayed  3 to 4 hours. He didn’t arrive to Chicago airport until well after midnight.

When the family moved to Colleyville Finn was a freshman in high school. That year Covid hit and I talked and texted with him almost everyday. He really struggled not knowing many people. His freshman year in college he called everyday on his way to class.

He touched so many people in a positive way. I cannot even attempt to value all of the precious moments and memories of Finn. I loved him beyond words. My heart aches. Finn’s Gamma
