In Memory of My Grandfather

Today makes 3 years he's been gone so I must reflect upon some things.

Such as the Blog i wrote after i got the news that he was dead. and just my general feelings about his life and death from what I new.

My Grandpa Loved us, He was the most respected man in this family, taking care of 12 kids, man thats a lot! just imagine, I grew up in under him and my grandma, same as the rest of the family. so we were Close Knit coming up...

He died on us but it was his time. he was ready to go. Im glad he died when he did, because I don't think he would have wanted to see katrina.

My Grandma Viola Lived till 2002.. Oddly enough he was a few years older than my grandfather so she and she died similarly. well yeah In the bed sleeping.

We loved them and we miss them.

I emailed myself a picture of the gravestones, I'll post it here later on.

----------
Its wild though, people say that my grandfather was a Real Man, and well yeah Thats basically IT. He took care of Everybodies kids. Made everybody feel welcomed to the home. He Cared for us as if he was our Dads. and there were even points were my cousins called him "Daddy" becaus thats how they looked at him. Wow man..

there are things i think about all the time, Things I say and do. Remind me of my grandpa
I remember seeing my grandma Cry the day he died. it was the only time i've ever seen my grandma cry. which had us all in Tears.

He died Before my brother graduated High School, he was so proud of my Brother. Infact!.. Mybrother Played The Trumpet at both my grandparents Funerals ..

I just think its wild to know that loved ones have moved on to the afterlife and well for me, Through Dream i believe its their way of communicating. yeah I see them in my dreams, so does my mom and even others in the family.

It's wild man. its just so much that i really dont know what else to say.. but thank you Thomas Grimes for being the The One Who Raised us all!
