Nana, Papa, Grandma Haught, and Grandpa Haught,

I know everyone probably says this, but I have been blessed with the best two sets of grandparents in the entire world. You all are four of the strongest, most resilient people I know.

Grandpa Haught, I never got to meet you, but from what my family tells me, you seem pretty awesome. My Mom talks about you all the time. You had such a love for music and people, I can just tell by the way the people in my life speak about you.

Grandma Haught, you died when I was in the 3rd grade, but what I remember of you is wonderful. I remember you reading to me and my brother and making strange crafts out of various Styrofoam objects. You always knew creative ways to keep us entertained. I’m like you in many ways; many people have told me that I look like you, I’m pursuing an education degree, I love music, etc. I wish I got to know you better and that I got to meet Grandpa Haught.

Nana, you inspired me to be a feminist. You never let being a woman get in the way of your advancement in the oil business. You took on being called a “doll” when you were the boss, and you kept going raising three ruly boys for a little while after Grandpa Chuck died. You taught me the importance of being a classy lady, and always give me solid advice.

Papa, you’ve taught me the importance of working hard for what you want. You’ve taught me that school and getting an education is incredibly important. Thank you for always supporting me in whatever endeavor I pursue. You’ve taught me a lot about how to be a leader and how to make a business run well. You and Nana have given me so many opportunities and gifts I could’ve never dreamed of and I am forever grateful.

Thanks for being awesome. You’re the best I could’ve ever asked for.

With Love,

Your Granddaughter
