100 things Challenge - 7
Today, I will b talking about my maternl grandfather Sidney Sloman, he died when I was 9 from lung cancer.
I remeber he would smoke cigars, my mom wouldn't let him smoke in the house so he smoked on the front lawn. We the kids would hang out with him and talk with him. I remember sitting on the lawn and playing wih the leaves.
He would always visit us, we would take a walk down to the corner candy store and he would tell us we can pick two things. I would always pick a roll of Lifesavers and a Hershey bar.
He played ball with my brother and was an avid Yankee fan.
I remember he would come to the house for each of our birthdays and when we would come home he would be there to suprise us. For my 7th or 8th birthday, he bought me and my sister Cabbage Patch Dolls, they were not the official ones but they were our favorite anyway.
He made sure that all 3 of us kids had savings bonds and for every occassion we would get some.
He came to my brother's Bar Mitzvah even though he was sick didn't stay the whole time, we were happy to see bim there. A great man I miss him, never really got to know him too well, but I am greaful for the memories. :-)
