Grandpa

It's been a little over 2 weeks since Grandpa passed away on Christmas Eve. I've had many thoughts in my head but wasn't ready to write them down yet. But today's the day. Where do I start though? Do I tell you first about his big hands that always gave an encouraging pat on the back every time I saw him or about his big heart that gave and gave- so much support, love, kindness and care? Or do I tell you about the way he'd bounce all us grandkids on his knee- being our horse over and over again.... did he ever get tired of that? Or what about when he was at Malorie's blessing day and as I sat by him afterward he leaned over to me and said "you know that Grandma and I love these kids just like they were our own?" I won't forget that moment or the many others that have played on the endless reel in my head the last couple weeks. What's the most important thing to write down about this legacy in my life? I think it's simply that I love him and he's living with Heavenly Father- I KNOW that. And I'll get to see him again someday but until then I have many memories to keep him close and continue the legacy he left.
