Wow he chose to spend one on one time with his granddaughter instead of going to the repass. They both needed that ❤️ I hope they stay this close forever ❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes you just don't feel up to all that.

[@barbcosgrove64]

I absolutely agree. He's a wonderful grandfather looking after his son's daughter. Just hours after saying goodbye to his son 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️.

Her innocent little laugh is EVERYTHING!!! She is Brandon's immortality. I am so glad she will see him in you.

Hey Ricky sorry for your lost omg praying for family great father and Grandpa stay safe and strong blessings 🙏❤️

[@611mellissa]

@@shirley9209 what does that mean? So if something happens to your child it's your fault? You can give these kids the moon and the stars but at the end of the day they will wake up and make their own choices smh. Y'all are something else. You better pray you don't end up finding out first hand what this feels like. People are evil and godless because compassion for others is free. But I guess for some it costs too much to give. You probably grown too which makes this comment even more unnecessary.

[@shirley9209]

@@611mellissa It means love don't take care of everything and harsh as it sounds it ain't enough. As a parent we can't afford to be selfish we can't even be sick we have to be there for our kids because in the long run we are all they got, personally I wouldn't be mad because you left this world I be mad because you left us.

Thankful to Storm's mother for allowing this time. It's all about this baby now. She has no idea of the loss yet. She will need her father's family to help fill in the gap for him.

[@lisas7046]

Her beautiful, innocent laughter… You needed that, Mr. Smiley. ♥️♥️♥️

There’s nothing better than spending time with children, like this, during some of the worse times of our lives. Her giggles are Priceless!! 😊

[@chakenahall1324]

Absolutely Adorable!! That's right, can't say no to her. These grand babies have us doing all kinds of things with and for them. 😊

[@cynthiagarrett6060]

So happy that Rickey's family has his Babygirl to help them through their grieving and by her being none the wise and too young to understand the great loss, her genuine smiles and laughter are probably doing them all a lot of good right now. She is such a happy and beautiful little girl and I know they are going to surround her with extra love and care for Brandon. It was a joy seeing her with Rickey and they're both laughing and smiling.

[@celestinewatkins4501]

Storm is cuteness overload and so beautiful and smart! I've watched Rickey with Grayson many times. Have you noticed that Rickey's love of kids bring a calmness and peace over him. What l just witnessed is amazing! It wasn't just his interaction with Storm it was the deep love he showed his granddaughter that was clearly evident.

Continue to stay uplifted, even though I know this is a hard time for the entire family. Take your time and dont let anyone rush you in anything you are not ready to do. I will continue to pray for Brandon's mom and dad, the siblings , your mom and the entire family. I have 4 sons in their 30's and I can't fathom the thought of losing one of them. Praying for you, my brother.
