My grandpa, my inspiration
July 19, 2013
To me there isn't just one specific story I would have to talk about because with you your whole life was a story. So many memories, mostly good times but not always. The thing I remember about my grandfather was that he adored his family. You tried so hard to keep us together even though there was always fighting. Your favorite time of the year was the summer, having cookouts, inviting family over, laughter, music, and ha dancing. Once you got a couple beers you would always be listening to music and wanting someone to dance with you...... That would always be me or Tiffany we were always goofy with you. I remember you we're always about the holidays and getting family together and making more memories. I'm sure you know but I'm trying my hardest to follow in your footsteps and do what you always did. Sometimes I feel like I carry a part of you like I think just like you and try to do things like I think you would!! One thing I do think about a lot is I really hope I am making you proud that's very important to me even though your not here I still think about what would my grandpa think. I really wish you were still here watching the kids Ashley, mark, and Hannah grow! I know you would have loved them. And I am 100% that they would have loved you. They probably would have called you Santa around Christmas just like we did when we were little. And you probably would have grew your beard just so they could... Lol. But if there was one thing I had to mention about you is that when you met Ashley you loved her and when you were really sick in the hospital and really weren't remembering a lot I was up there a lot with you. One of the times I was there I brought Ashley with me and sat her next to you you smiled with this huge smile and said "baby Ashley" it brought tears to my eyes to know that my daughter made you smile in your last days!!! Still to this day it just doesn't feel real!! Sometimes I have to remind myself that you are gone. But I know in my heart your still here watching over my baby's everyday. And I know your not in pain anymore. I love you so much grandpa, until the day we are reunited in heaven yours truly trishia!!
