I will never forget going up to visit Grandma Boyd and her always calling daddy Paul Wesley, he hated it. She told us some amazing stories of daddy when he was smaller and even had his rubber ducky from when he was a baby. Though we didn't get to see her much, she left a memory with me that I will never forget.
