Bittersweet Memories






We were out to Iowa for Grandpa's funeral. Though sad to say good-bye, it is so grand to know that he went on to something so much greater. A song that came to mind while preparing to make the trip was a song titled "The Greatest Man I Never Knew". At first I was hesitant to publish this but after the funeral I realized the reason WHY this came to mind....Not because we didn't know him but because h e was a quiet man that didn't easily let his deepest feelings and emotions show though we can be assured that he loved his family greatly.

Spending time with family (some of whom I haven't seen in 10 years) was very special. My aunt and uncle opened their home for us to gather in though their lives are quite busy....and this year even more so than ever. Thank you so much....this time together was special beyond words.
