Happy Father's Day
I really don't have a father to speak of. I had something better, I had the world greatest granddaddy! My grandfather was one of those people that everyone who knew him loved him. In June of 1992 my granddaddy lost his battle with cancer. All my life my grandfather had promised me if I did all the work to graduate high school he would be with me to celebrate me being the first woman in my family to graduate from high school. He was so sick and so brave because he did just that he hung on until his 1st grandchild graduated high school. I graduated on the 2nd and my granddaddy went home on the 4th. So my post today is about the bravest most wonderful man I have ever known. 10 things I miss about my granddaddy...
1. The way he smells.
2. The way he would encourage me to try.
3. His ability to make my grandmother smile.
4. His half smirk half smile.
5. His laugh.
6. His hand on my shoulder.
7. His twisted sense of humor(much like mine...;).)
8. The kind words he always had for everyone.
9. Being able to get and give hugs.
10. The advice that I had become so accustomed to getting.
I hope that everyone realize how special their father's and grandfather's are and gives them a call today or better yet go see them!
