On March 20, 1996, my grandpa was diagnosed with colon cancer. The doctors said he had 3-5 years to live. He survived for 12 years. They said he wouldn’t make it past Memorial Day, and he lasted until three months later; a hour after Labor Day. So, he beat all the odds and statistics. He has dealt with more in his life than anyone I know. He fought as hard as he could until the end.
Wow. Where do I even start to explain my grandpa?
Well first off I loved him more than words could ever explain. He is my true hero. He may not have been anyone famous, and his name may soon be forgotton to some. But to me he was all a person could and should be.
He taught me so many things even if it was the silly ones like my school pictures scare the rats away or I make a better door than a window. I learned the more they come the uglier they get, I needed to come back when he could stay longer, and why I don’t want a dog named Rover.
Everyday I would walk in; he would bring a smile to my face. Knowing he was my grandpa and no one else’s. The last words I spoke to my grandpa were I love you. And he replied with I love you too. That’s about all I could have done. If I could have I would have changed everything to make him healthy and strong. I would have went back in time to that one sunny day he took me and kayla to the park. I will never forget that day. I felt like I was on top of the world because I knew everyone that saw me with him would think mann i wish my grandpa was that cool.
=]
He went through more in his life than anyone I know. He is by far the strongest man I have ever met and I saw cancer take over him and make him weak and helpless. But I think now he is a peace, healthy, strong, and able to run. I know that he is still here to watch over us and make sure that me don’t forget the real grandpa we knew.
And to make sure we don’t mess up his grass.
But still I would give anything just to see his face one more time.
The only thing that keeps me going is I know that I will see him again someday.
I can’t wait until I do see him again and laugh as he welcomes me by telling me that the birds have been looking for me.
I love my grandpa and seem to hate the world for there being no cure.
<3

Dad..So many images come to mind whenever I speak your name. It seems without you in my life things have never been the same. What happened to those lazy days when I was just a child? When my life was consumed in you, in your love and in your smile. What happened to all those times when I always looked to you? No matter what happened in my life you could make my gray skies blue. Some days I hear your voice and turn to see your face,yet in my turning it seems the sound has been erased. Who will I turn to for answers when life does not make sense? Who will be there to hold me close when the pieces just don’t fit? If I could turn back time and once more hear your voice,I’d tell you out of all the dads you still would be my choice. Please always know I love you, no one can take your place. Years may come and go but your memory will never be erased. Today,Jesus,as You are listening in your home above, would you go and find my dad and give him all my love.
I miss you so much Daddy.
Debbie
