Colin's Grandpa past away in 1980 from cancer and we have been learning a lot about him this past year. Colin doesn't really have any memories of him so it has been really exciting to go through pictures and here neat stories about him. Grandpa Knight was an amazing dancer, owned his own dance studio, served his country for his whole adult life and took his family with him all over the world. Nixon was so excited to hear that Great Grandpa flew planes in the war. I've never been to his grave site and we live just across the street from his resting place now. What a perfect opportunity to visit and teach the kids about honoring the Veteran's. Mount Vernon is a gorgeous cemetery! We love you Grandpa Knight and thank you for your service to our Country and family. I can't wait to get dancing lessons from him some day!
Thank you to Grandpa Jackson (who just past away last year) and Grandpa Heward for serving our country as well. We love you dearly and honor your sacrifices.
