One of My Hero's

So all day today I have been thinking about my Hero, my Grandpa!! He just passed away a few months ago. It was so unexpected to all of us. Granted he was 86 years old but he was in better shape than all of us. He was the type of person that you new wouldn't die. He was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He was so strong in his faith, and so strong in family unity. We also new with out a doubt that he was proud to be an AMERICAN. If we had a question about the church or about politics then we new to just call grandpa. Another reason he has been on my mind is every year since I can remember we would all meet at Grandpa and Grandma's house to watch the fire works.

So tonight as we celebrate our freedom, it will be bitter sweet because there will be an empty chair where my Hero use to sit. So here's to you grandpa thank you for your part in helping us obtain freedom, we miss you and love you!!
