My grandpa died today. He was such a funny, sarcastic, loving, energetic, strong and caring man. I love him so much and have so many fond memories of him from childhood to adulthood. My memories of visiting him on his farm as a child were some of my fondest memories to date. He was an amazing story teller and there was no one who enjoyed the outdoors as much as he did! He loved spending his free time hunting, fishing and camping. He has been through quite a few injuries in his life, but he has always been an incredibly strong man. This morning as I stood by him at his hospice bed, he looked up and smiled at me the way that he always has- like he is so proud of me or like it is a secret that he loves his grandkids so much. He knew I was there and it makes me happy to know that I got to share my life with him. He will be missed by our whole family, but we will all carry him with us in our hearts and in our memories. I love you, Grandpa.
