The World Lost a Great Man

My grandfather. I wanted to include this in a separate post. He was very special to me- the sweetest, most gentle man, which isn't common in his generation. He was loving and smart and will be missed. I lived with these grandparents for awhile during my teenage years, and their home feels like home to me and always has, more than anywhere else. I'm very happy he lived such a long, good life full of love and without any real tragedy- what an awesome way to go! I love you grandpa, and I hope where you are is full of good movies and as many Trader Joe's peanut clusters as your heart desires :-)

Beautiful!

I dont know if I ever met him or not but I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a grandparent and it's always hard. My grandpa's house always feels like home to me too and it's such a special thing.

Hold onto those memories! My thoughts are with you!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXO

She's doing pretty "ok" :-)
It's good it wasn't dragged on too long, you know? For that we are grateful.
