Memories

It's been a year ago today that my Grandad passed away. It was also his birthday. He would have been 89 today. My friend Judy said that there is something spiritual about passing away on your birthday. I think that it's a fairly rare occurrence.
I wish so many of you knew him because he was awesome! He was fun and had a great sense of humor. He loved to tease and we all loved to tease him.... He spoiled me as much as possible and loved to buy me jewelry. In fact, he loved to buy all of the women in his life jewelry and he had great taste too! He had even bought Maddie a garnet necklace. And if would have lived to see Paige, I know he would have bought her something.
Growing up he loved to flirt with my friends, especially Candy and Lisa. A few years ago, Candy had gone to breakfast with myself, Maddie, my Mom and Grandad. My Grandad asked Candy what she was doing later! Like he was going to take her out on a date! Always the flirt!
I never knew his wife (my Grandma Naomi) - she died when my mom was 12 but he always spoke so highly of her. He had remarried in later years but it didn't last long. I know he was a wonderful father only because his kids loved and cherished him so much.

He served proudly in the military and LOVED to watch his war movies..There is so much that I feel that I could write about but sometimes I'm just not good with the words. (sigh)

On another note...Some other things going on....I'm going to do my first 5k!!! Eek. I'm so not ready, so its a good thing that it's a Run/Walk. Because that is exactly what I'll be doing...run, walk, run, walk. I'm doing this with my friend Lexi. She's been Running/Walking with me in the mornings about 3 days a week. We've been doing the Couch to 5K thing. But this will be for a good cause. Its the Alexa Brown Memorial 5K - she was a little girl who passed away do to cancer.
Till tomorrow! Hugs!
