I wish you could be there to see him in the parade today. I imagine the experience will be quite special to him. Happy Veteran's Day to him and all those who have served our country.

What a great tribute! My favorite parts were definitely hearing about the small details, like the cold Coca-Cola from the bottle & sneaking caramels. Very well-written! Loved this post!

Previous goals and my life itself have been a little bit too complicated. so my new goals are to live the rest of my life half as well as your grandfather and end up with half the love and half the respect he has, giving and receiving. If i attain my goals, i will have led a successful life by my measure. and being in the middle, i have often noticed the granddaughter has a lot of traits from her grandfather. dammit, now i'm crying that deep gut, feel good cry again. i love you (and your grandpa). would you send this to him in an email. Grandma is not quite up to handling blogs and Facebook. She has difficulty managing email. bt then so do her children. okay, okay. i am blubbering like a baby with that good kind of deep in the gut warm cry of happiness and feel good stuff.
