Lifetoo short. My Grandpa was one of the toughest & bravest people I have ever met. He taught his family to work hard for all they want, take care of their own, be generous,strong & brave,cut up &have fun, never accept the first price on anything, keep the house stocked full of everything-esp. food, ask for forgiveness &make up for the mistakes we make along the way, try new things, take chances, Pac-man is probably the best video game &no one can beat My Granny, laugh hard &loud, you are NEVER too old for the cool toys & new gadgets, summer would be nothing without a pool & some watermelon, joke & kid with everyone you meet, respect where you come from, wake up way too early & clang those pots & pans-one of the best songs ever, & especially in his later years-to share your emotions with those you love most-hide nothing. Life is so short, My Grandpa basically taught me to LIVE IT & ENJOY IT. He left this world 1/30/2011. RIP Grandpa, miss you more than any words can possibly express.
