And thank you for your beautiful words about dad. Your words convey so much emotion and information about such a difficult time and I cried...happy and sad tears for the memories you invoked.

He was a wonderful grandpa to my kids. He taught them and me so much about God, Family, Honesty. There just arent many men like him left in this world.

You went there and I am better because of it!<br /><br />My Mom and Dad are nearing their finals days with us...I see it every time I visit them although I hope and pray I am wrong. I can tell you and Rick love his parents as much as I love mine and your post gives me strength to face what is ahead of me.<br /><br />Mark McIntyreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17086235.post-29129151446847950382013-07-04T08:23:48.993-04:002013-07-04T08:23:48.993-04:00Woah.
