My grandpa would have turned 86 today.
In January of 2007 my grandpa nearly passed away after having a heart attack while in surgery. It is a true miracle that we did not lose him then. After that happened he decided to write his life story. It is all handwritten and filled with amazing memories and love. I am so grateful that he decided to so this and I have one for myself.
Here is one of the stories that I had never heard and just laughed so hard when I read it. In fairness I would have thought the bees dead too. I wouldn't have put them in my pocket but what do you expect from boys?

Does it ever get easier? I think of you every day, I miss you more than ever. I feel as is I've accomplished alot these past three years you've been gone and I would love to tell you all about it. I know you'd be proud. I know that you are. I just want to talk to you, steal your cane, go to the mall, eat Costco hot dogs, sneak in your model room and touch the cars ever so carefully. Can't we just go back for a while? Take a drive up to Logan for a Papa Kelsey sandwich and Bluebird chocolate's. Maybe, someday. For now I say to the heavens that I love you with every fiber of my being. So so much.
Happy Birthday you handsome devil.
