My Sweet sweet Grandpa passed away on Wednesday. After living everyday with energy uncharacteristic of his 86 years, he went home to be with his eternal companion… just in time for her birthday.
Grandpa taught me so much through his never-ending learning and continued caring for all around him. Jaylee knows him as the Grandpa who would always tease her and get her toes.
I feel so lucky that he was so involved in my life and that I truly got to know him. Perhaps now he can see into my heart to know how grateful I am that he sat through numerous dance recitals and basketball games just to be supportive, that he pulled my loose teeth when I was young because in my trusting eye, he was the only one that was qualified, that he opened his home to Mike and I when we didn’t have one of our own, that he was a GRANDPA to the very core and blessed our lives each day we knew him. I LOVE YOU Grandpa. Give Grandma a hug for me!!
