Grandpa and I had some great times! He was more fun to be around than most people my age. He enjoyed going to the fiddler's festivals and to VFW events. Not that those were that exciting, but I remember awhile back when he could still get around ok I went to one of the VFW dances with him, and we had a couple of dances. I think he enjoyed having me go along with him. Gramps has been in the Veterans Home the last few years, but before that we used to enjoy hanging out at his house, looking at photographs, or driving around Harstene Island. Grandpa and his whiskey and waters! Well thanks to him that is my drink now, I will certainly think of him every time I have one, and will pour one for him too! I am glad I can look back, and feel grateful for the time we spent together, the knowledge I gained from my time with him is great and will be passed on. I hope I can live a life so rich.
