The old picture is of him and I before the Shrine Circus or Parade (cannot remember which) The other one is of him, my grandma and I at my 1 year wedding anniversary party.
1 year ago today I lost one of the most important people in my life. He was the man that was always there for me, who loved and adored me to no end and was a hero to me. We went to baseball games together, we went to museums together and just had the most wonderful time being with one another. It was always that way growing up, if he wanted to do something fun then he chose me to share that with him. Even after I became an adult. I would go see him, visit him and be with him. I loved to hear all his stories of growing up. I loved to hear stories of his work and family life. I loved to hear about his Navy days and all the stunts he used to pull and the fun that they had. I would go to Christmas parties with him. He was so involved in the community that he lived in and would do so much stuff for them that he would go to press confrences and take me with him. All the memories I have of him are great ones. He was the sweetest, kindest, most loving man I have ever known and I love and miss him terribly. I love you, Grandpa. Thank you for all that you have ever done for me. I miss you and love you more than you will ever know.
