Sad Heart...

My grandpa passed away on Wednesday. Last night, my mom and I went through a whole bunch of pictures, many of which we'd never seen before. I'd like to share a few of my favorites...

My grandparents, young and in love...



My grandparents on their wedding day...

Grandpa...way before he was Grandpa...


My grandparents bringing my dad home...this picture was apparently published in the newspaper...


My Grandpa and my dad....


My Grandpa, messing with me while I get my picture taken...(he also used to make faces at us whenever we sang in the little kids choir at church or participated in Christmas and/or school plays, which means I never made it through a single performance without laughing really hard and sometimes forgetting the words)...



My Grandpa and me on my 18th birthday...he turned 81 the same month and liked that our ages were the reverse of each other...


My grandparents, in the only church portrait he smiled in...he said the guy taking the picture was making faces at him. I said, "Oh, and you wouldn't know anything about that kind of behavior, would ya?"


I miss my grandparents....
