Gramps

25 August

Yesterday we said a final goodbye to this man. I'm so thankful I was able to know him for as long as I did. I saw a man who was kind, gentle, patient, and God-fearing. A man who stuck with the things he liked and didn't see the need to venture into the unknown. A man who worked hard until his body told him it was time to rest. A man who was stubborn and refused to turn a car around when he took a wrong turn ;). A man who was greatly respected by his family and friends. We loved the years he spent with us on vacation in Florida, and are so glad we have all of those memories. We will miss having him here on earth, but would never wish him back from enjoying the splendors of heaven! What a joy to know that one day we will get to see him again.
