My fondest memory of Grandpa Wester was at Caryn and Jason's wedding. I had the responsibility of taking care of Graylon during the event. It was SO hot that day so I waited until the very last minute to be seated with him. In fact, the grandparents had just came down the isle to be seated. As I was walking toward my seat, Grandpa Wester started admiring the baby I was holding. He didn't realize it was Mike and Heather's baby Graylon. What I didn't realize was that he had never even seen or met Graylon until that moment.. When he realized that the baby belonged to Mike, he stopped in his tracks and took him out of my arms. The look of love on his face was priceless. Grandma Wester had to tell him to give him back to me because they had to be seated....the wedding was about to start.
