My Grandpa

I'm not usually one to blog about the events of my life- I'm not as good at paying a tribute or describing an experience or event as my mom and sister are on their blogs....mostly I blog about my feelings about these events.  So, I just wanted to say that I love my Grandpa quite a lot.  I might end up blogging more about my feeling about him later on.  But for now I just want to express my love for him.  He was always wonderful to me.  I always wanted to make him proud, and whenever I would get up to give a talk in sacrament meeting and I'd see him tearing up, I would feel like I had succeeded.  For me there was nothing like seeing him cry.  I love him still and I miss him.  But I know I'll see him again someday, and until then I'll be keeping his picture close by so I can keep striving to make him proud of me.  The thought of him makes me very happy.  It still doesn't feel like he's gone.  Around Christmas time it probably will.

Love you Grandpa.  Always will.
