Happy Birthday Grandpa!


I share both a name and a birthday with my grandpa.When my parents found out my due date was so close to my grandpa's birthday they decided that would be the day. Well, they were right and I was born on April 18th and named Arah Debra Shumway after my grandpa Arah DeVar Shumway. Not many girls can say they were named after their Grandpa. I'm proud to share his name and his birthday. Happy 88th birthday Grandpa! I love you!!

That is so sweet. We just gave our baby Abbi the middle name of her grandpa Ray. Your grandpa is a cute little guy. It made me cry reading this post because I thought the world of my gramps as i'm sure you do too. So special that you can share his name. I love your name the way!!

I didn't know you were named after your Grandpa. I have a hard time calling you Arah also but it is such a cool name.
