He turned 91 last Monday and we thought warm fuzzy thoughts about what a wonderful grandfather he is. I wasn't there for his birthday, but missed him all day long. I knew for sure that I'd make a visit over Christmas break.
Then on Saturday, he passed away. My Grandpa was granted entry into the pearly gates for Christmas this year.
Happy for him. Sad for us.
I will always remember:
*boots
*chocolate in the refrigerator
*a deep, slow voice
*a warm laugh
*bread and butter
*gentle hands
*oatmeal cream pies
He called me Melanie Rose. I like that.
Oh, I love my Grandpa Harold.
Heaven got one of our good ones this time.
