Do Good Work

A few weeks ago, this world lost a very comic and caring man. I just felt like I should write a few things about a person who made an impact in my life as well as many others. Andrew and I had lived with them for the past 16 months, so I got to know his grandparents better than most granddaughter-in-law's may. I appreciated Grandpa mainly for his humor and his enjoyment of life but also for his protection of me. I will never forget the day I was scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed. He was laying in bed, in pain that had lasted years and years, yet he was very concerned about me and how I felt that day. He also prayed with me on my first day of work. I'm cerainly not the best person to write about Grandpa, as I haven't known him long, but his life had an impact on mine. As the family has been saying, I know he is singing and praising God and now free from all traech's, peg tubes, and pain. He is greatly missed.

He was a comic and caring man, wasn't he? We all know that he could be a little over the top sometimes on the humor side, but he was also a genuinely "good" man. Thank you for writing about him - he did love to visit your blog! I still miss his - I always enjoyed reading his thoughts/musings. Anyway - love the photos - of your moving in process too. And the "fun and fancy" night with your church group sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing YOUR thoughts - sure do like this blog thing...
