scrambled thoughts. don't even know what to think.
you were like a grandfather to me.
i will miss all your hugs and smiles.
all the times i couldn't hear you because you had such a soft voice.
i will miss the times i hugged you even when you thought you were too dirty and smelly.
and looking up to you because you fought in the vietnam war as an eagle scout.
you hold your granddaughter and seeing the love glow from your face.
all those times i sat back and wondered how you were so gentle and calm and how your wife was so wild and crazy. =)
driving by the church and seeing you work on the yard and always thinking, "god, i love that man."
how you let us borrow your car for a whitewater rafting trip and your daughter spilt the chew mix bag all over the place...her saying, "my dad is going to be so angry with me" so we drove to a gas station and vaccuumed up all the chex mix =)
out of all the knocks on the back door of the church on a wednesday night, your knock was the one i always looked forward to.
always seeing you while serving in the kitchen and cleaning. you were the only one that really kept me company.
and for some reason, every time i hugged you, i never wanted to let go...maybe it was that "grandpa" feeling you gave me---how i just always wanted to be around you.
i am glad i got to see you after i came back from my trip...otherwise, it would have the month of may since the last time i saw you, and that is just way too long in my book.
you will be remembered by me. i think i speak for everyone when i say that.
i miss you already, but i will see you again...and i cannot wait until that happens.
thank you for blessing up tremendously with your beautiful life, your wonderful love, your care, and your spirit of serving.
