My grandfather was one of the most amazing men I've ever known. For almost all my life, he suffered with pain and health issues, but in my 20 years of memories of him, I only remember him without a smile on his face on two occasions. He was my rock, my confidant, my friend, and my constant reminder to smile, because things could ALWAYS be worse. He was ridiculous and silly, and could make anyone he met laugh. He cared about his family intensely, and would have done anything for any one of us. Today would have been his birthday, and it's days like these that I miss him the most.

Grandpa- You are in my heart always, and I will NEVER forget the lessons you taught me by your example. I miss you every day, and I hope you are proud of me. I love you forever!

I love you and miss you with the heart and soul
