From the time he was first a part of my life as a young girl, I always thought he was too cool for school. He taught me about cars and took me to my first car show (back to the 50's). When I told him I loved him, his reply was always, "Well, that's swell". I remember as a young girl this confused me and I got a little older I made it a goal to get him to reply, "I love you too." It took me YEARS! I knew he loved me but my stubborn self also knew I could get him to say it. I will never forget the day he did!! I had come home to MS to visit during my first year in college and it was Christmas time... I told him I loved him as he and Tunie were leaving the house, and he said back, "Well, I love ya too girl!"
VICTORY!
Thank you for always being so kind to me Grandpa Art. I will always love you.
