Frankie Martin

Awhile back I posted about my dad. We dedicated this blog to him. My dad passed away in January from a long battle with cancer. He never got to go into remission, he never got to get better, but he never gave up or stopped fighting. My dad, Pop Pop, was one of the most amazing people I'll ever know and we all miss him more than you can put into words. There was nothing he couldn't do and he did everything for everyone. He was Joshua's best friend and Joshua was his buddy. I am thankful that he was able to see pictures of Fu Quan and share in our hopes to adopt him. He spoke to us both about our plans and then supported us in them. During one of our talks, many of us were so blessed to have with him over this past year, he told me, "If you can come up with the money for the adoption expense, bring him home". Later I told him we were going to adopt Quan, I wanted him to know. And I told him that he and Quan shared the same birthday. His face lit up. People have said we will have a guardian angel watching over this adoption. I hope so. I hope he can some how look down. We didn't get to tell him Quan's new name. We are going to name him Frank Martin Quan. Quan for his Chinese heritage, Martin after Michael's dad, and Frank after my dad.
