Family is Forever

My Grandpa is one of the happiest people I know. He always had a smile on his face whenever I was with him. We would always go for lunch at least two times a month with my Grandma. The three of us always had plans to get together, I love spending time with the both of them. He has influenced my life so much. He was constantly giving to others and never asked for anything in return. He loved and cared about my entire family so much. He had so much love in his heart and he never raised his voice. I never saw him angry or upset. He was always simply happy. Everywhere he went he made friends. Everyone loved him! He taught me so much over the years and I am so grateful for all that I learned. He was always so proud of my cousins and I. He would wear all the college shirts he got with pride. He was there for every important moment in my life including lunch at my school in kindergarten to graduations. He was there for my whole family whenever we needed him. He always listened to what we said, no matter how boring it might have been. He loved being with us and we loved being with him. I love spending my time with my Grandpa and Grandma, even if its just sitting on their couch watching who wants to be a millionaire. We would try to guess the right answer as if we were actually on the show. People say I got his driving skills, which is not a good thing and everyone is afraid to drive with us at the wheel. We are alike in so many ways and I absolutely love it. He was a people person. He was a great man and I always looked up to him and I always will. I hope to be the kind of person he was and make him proud always. He will always be the most amazing, admired, kindest, caring, and loved man I know. He truly is the number one Grandpa.

  1. Awh Nicole this is so sweet! If your driving skills are hereditary, I hope you don't pass them along to your kids! I am slightly afraid of your driving skills...and your ability to give directions! I wish I had a chance to meet your Grandpa, seems like he was such a great guy!

  4. Nicole, I totally understand what you are going through! I lost both of my grandmas when I was very young, but I can totally relate to everything you are feeling! Your grandpa seemed like such an inspiring person and always keep him in your heart! :) And you are right, family is extremely important!
