My Grandfather

Well on Jan. 5th my grandfather passed away. We knew it was coming and in a way it is better that he is gone and in no more pain. But I'm not here to be sad and pout about his passing. Instead I wanted to think about the wonderful man he was and how none of us will forget the wonderful lessons he passed on. He was really one of those grandparents who would say "When I was your age I walked 10 miles!" and I remember him telling us a story of how he walked miles to wait in a long line just to get bread. Also. he was never afraid to speak his mind, if he thought me and my sister were out of line toward my mom he spoke up. He never let us get away with a thing! But he was incredibly sweet, and would do anything for a laugh. Whenever we were sad he would tilt his hat to the side and make this horribly funny face until we couldn't stop laughing. He really was a wonderful man, great father and perfect grandfather.
