He sounds like a wonde...I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man. You speak of him as being much like my grandfather--though he passed away when I was five, we were very close and I have vivid memories of him--I still miss him sometimes. I, like you, was with my grandfather when he passed. My heart aches for you.<BR/><BR/>Be so grateful that you have so many years of memories with your grandfather! And to think that he left this earth in the midst of celebrating with the ones dearest to him -- that's truly a gift.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089831140288845388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122828272509249979.post-85601731710220553952008-01-01T22:15:00.000-05:002008-01-01T22:15:00.000-05:00nic, I'm so sorry for your loss. you always manage...nic, I'm so sorry for your loss. you always manage to put a good spin on things and it seems like you are doing just that in this case. plus, it sounds like you have so many other great things going on! congrats on the new place--can't wait for the housewarming!jmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004692009342379601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122828272509249979.post-21446773359438346032007-12-30T02:33:00.000-05:002007-12-30T02:33:00.000-05:00Just by looking at your pics one can tell that you...Just by looking at your pics one can tell that your grandpa was obviously one very special, jovial guy, Nic.
