This Holiday Season I have been thinking lots about my Grandpa. He passed away in 2000, and I have missed him so very much. He was the worlds best Grandpa. He always went out of his way to make you feel like you were his all time favorite grandchild, and loved to serenade you and dance with you. One of his biggest loves were his grandchildren and great grandchildren. I love this picture below of my grandpa with Jackie's youngest Jaden. The look you see on his face below was the same look you always seen when he was around, especially if you were his grand or great grandchild. He adored us all, and made sure we all knew just how (precious) we were to him. As I think about his posterity and it's growth, I can't help but imagine the huge smile he must have on his face. I will never forget the love he had for me, and the memories he left behind for me to Cherish. 
This next picture makes me laugh all over again. This was taken at Grandpas 80th Birthday Party. We made this giant cake, and then my uncle Jerrol jumped out of it. I remember how surprised my Grandpa was, and how much he laughed. He had a good sense of humor, which I loved. He knew how to have fun, and he wasn't afraid to do so. Check out that sweet face of his.
I love you grandpa, thanks for the memories. Merry Christmas.
