Probably 10 years or so ago, my grandfather died on this day. He meant a lot to me, and here are ten things that I remember about him:
- He loved national geographic, and we used to watch it together.
- He kept Captain Crunch cereal under the sink for me as a special treat, and if in season, it came with big fat blueberries on the bottom as a surprise,
- He used to have to read with a magnifying glass (by the way, I thinkI am headed in that direction).
- We also watched Lawrence Welk together.
- In the evenings, we enjoyed a bowl of jello made with canned fruit in it, and cool whip on the top (of course).
- LOL, he had a CB attena that got higher all the time, and he "created" it himself.
- He also "created" the clothes drying rack in the backyard for my grandmother out of our old swingset.
- I spent too many weekends to count with them as a child. They looked forward to those.
- He used to take out his teeth to horrify us as children. (us=me and my cousins).
- He used to take me shopping with him at Spags.

I miss my grandad too. That was beautiful.
I have been lucky that my grandmother loved me as well, and my husband's inlaws also love me.
We do all belong to a group, though I don't know how little it is. I am surprised to find more and more people with stories untold.
I would hope that there are MORE families that are loving, and try their best to be there for their children.
