I'll Miss My Grandpa


My Grandpa passed away on Sunday morning. He was 88 years old. My Grandpa was one of the nicest and kindest people I ever knew. He was quiet and smiled often. I never heard him say a negative word about anyone. He loved my Grandma very much. He served in World War II and drove a jeep around with my Grandma's name on it, Wilma. I think that's cool. He got together with his Army buddies monthly. They would meet for breakfast. He just met for breakfast with them last month. My grandparents lived behind me when I was growing up. I remember running through a short woods to their home often. I loved visiting them. I also remember my grandparents coming to our home to play cards with my parents. They would play hearts and spades. My Grandpa would let me sit on his lap and see his cards. He was a musician and played both the guitar and harmonica. He played the harmonica every Christmas Eve. I will miss that. I will miss him. I love you Grandpa, and I look forward to seeing you again in heaven someday.

Hey Vicki, So sorry about your Grandpa. Dan and I often remind each other that death was not part of the original plan and it stinks. But we have great hope and comfort. I am so glad that you and your family have that as well.

I'm so sorry, but he's in a better place. He lived a long life with the people he loved. And we can thank God for that. I wish your family the best as you go through this. I hope he went as peaceful as possible.
