I have so many memories of my grandpa. I was the daughter he never had and he was always a model husband that I wished to have one day. I was always in the yard with him. Grandma wanted me to help her bake, but I always wanted to be outside with grandpa. He was strict with me, quick to correct my actions or tone of voice. Always trying to teach me a life leason. Grandpa was always there to pick me up from school if I was sick, pick me up from home when I needed to get away. Grandpa drove me all the way to Washington to live with my dad and did the drive again when I wanted to go back to California. Through my experience and conversations that I had with my grandpa and my dad, I learned that grandpa was one way as a dad and another way as a grandpa. He was a hard working dad and would volunteered for any extra overtime so his sons and wife could have extra money. He showed his love by being a good provider. As a grandpa, he expressed his love with time and affection. As he got older he expressed his love more. I remember one of my uncle's said "he loves those damn dogs more than us!" My grandpa walked me down the aisle at my wedding and had many talks over the years about being a good husband with Tim. This was such a gift to me because I always admired the husband he was to my grandma. I will always remember waking up in the morning at their house and jumping in bed with with them. The last I did this was just a few years ago, grandma was in her hospital bed and it was just me and grandpa. We cuddled and talked about everything. He kept telling me he didn't what he was going to do with out grandma. So I find comfort in knowing he is back with grandma, he never wanted to be without her. Rest in peace grandpa and thank you for being such a blessing in my life!
