This blog is a special blog my dear readers.  This blog is in loving memory of my granddad.  Now I guess he isn’t my granddad by blood but from the first day I met him and his wife they never treated me any different than their real grandchildren.  I first met them Thanksgiving 1993 when my then boyfriend took me to their home for dinner.  From that day I became a grandchild.  I was very blessed to have married into such a kind and wonderful family.  Granddad passed away March 1^st 2009.  He was in his home where he wanted to be when he died.  Our grandmother went “home” March 17^th 2008 and we knew that granddad would be ready to go and be with her.  They were reunited and this warms my heart.  My favorite thing about them was not just the love they had for their family but for each other.  In a world where divorce runs rampant they stayed in love and even death could not separate them for long.  I take so much comfort in the fact that they are together again.  All the tears we shed are for ourselves and our loved ones but we can’t ask for him to come back.  The sights and sounds he must be experiencing I am sure words can’t describe so the last thing I will say is that love has nothing to do with blood and we have one more angel on our side….so spread those new wings granddad…..We will love and miss you always…….Here is a poem I wrote and I use with my relatives…

                                       Remember Me

Remember me when I am gone,

But please don’t keep holding on.

When you think of me laugh but don’t cry,

Because in your memories I will never die.

If one day you do sit down and cry for me,

Remember I am somewhere I want to be.

Walking with Jesus hand in hand,

Lost somewhere deep in the Promised Land.

Still I can never really die you see,

As long as you keep remembering me
