Papa Tony

By Heathernichole
I've been a very bad blogger lately. I apologize. I'm working on it. This past Sunday was the three year anniversary of my Papa Tony (my dad's dad) passing away. He passed away on my best friend's birthday, July 26th, so that day will forever be bittersweet. July 26th took away my grandpa but gave me my best friend.  My Papa Tony was and still is a huge inspiration in my life. Him and my grandmother worked very hard so that their children and grandchildren could have a better future. Even though he's not here anymore, I still try to make him proud.   This was taken on his last Father's Day at his house.

We try to celebrate on the anniversary of him passing, rather than being sad. We get together and remember him and think about the fact that he's happily with my grandmother again. My mom made arrangements for us to have brunch on the beach in Cardiff - otherwise known as San Diego. I ordered a churro waffle and it was probably one of the best things I've ever eaten.  
Me and my daddy.  
My mom and dad. Pretty nice view behind us. 
 There was a gorgeous mirror in the bathroom so I had to stop and take a couple selfies. Sorry.


And then there was this. This wall is perfection. My fiancé and I are planning on doing a pallet wall in our house and I absolutely love this look. Not so sure how my fiancé will feel about all the color but we'll see.

This is the view of the restaurant from the water. Just to give you an idea of how close the restaurant is to the ocean.



My and my momma.   And my dad again.
 We had such a nice time. I ended up making reservations to go back this Sunday with my fiancé. I can't wait!
