Well my Grandpa died today, well I suppose it was yesterday.

He's in the left corner
I remember when I was little, before I could read I typed out a whole page of random letters and he read it off to me like it was a real story.
I remember how he would always wink at me, how he would bend over on the couch, just so he could see me and get my attention and wink
I remember how he played Clue with me after I found out my Grandpa Harold died.
I remember every telephone call he spoke so softy I couldn't hear him and how, because I speak so softly too he probably had the same problem with me.
I remember how he always asked me to draw a picture of him and I kept refusing (because I'm not good at drawing real people) but I'm so glad I finally did a few Christmas' ago.
I remember how everyone would tell me I was his favorite.
He had a really unique smile...
He was a really good guy, and I'm going to miss him, already do but he didn't deserve to live the way he had the last few years. He was really sick and weak for a long time and whatever you believe about what happens after life, I imagine it's better than how he has been for awhile now.
I'm really not asking for sympathy, I was fortunate I got to visit a few weeks ago, he was a wonderful Grandpa, he lived a good life and I can only hope I'd be so lucky to live that long surrounded by people that I love!
I lost my Grandpa-in-law earlier this year, he was a good guy too. He would always tease me and whenever Tyson would leave the room he would ask "Why do you like him so much? Isn't he annoying?" I thought that was so funny, he was worried when I went to visit my family because he wasn't sure if anyone would tease me, I assured him that's one of my families hobbies and he was satisfied.
I am seriously running out of Grandparents, but I was lucky enough to have pretty great ones!
I just wanted to show them off a little bit and try to spread their memory any little way I know how!

Sorry this reply is rather late. I don't check journal listings as often as I ought to. D:
Thank you and I'm sorry your Grandpa passed as well. The worst part of growing up is all the mentor figures in our life pass on,then we somehow become them to someone else. My biggest problem with life is it's always going, you never really get to stop and reflect on things because something else has happened before you get the chance... Is that a weird thing to say? I hope it wasn't too confusing I have trouble expressing what I mean clearly.
It was pretty awesome, actually XD
Your grandpa sounds like the perfect grandpa to me! So sweet and kind. I've always wanted a grandpa like that.
I've been very lucky to have really great Grandpas!
