I know most everyone thinks that they have the best parents/grandparents...but I truely do believe that mine are the best.
My Grandpa was one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. I loved listening to him tell stories for hours. He could fix pretty much anything and everything. He didn't have an extraordinary voice, but I loved to hear him sing. He was such a fighter, battling cancer for the last few years of his life. He was the sweetest husband to my Grandma. He gave the best hugs and had the cutest laugh.
A couple weeks ago in church the preacher spoke on remembering our mentors. He said we should thank them for helping guide us to God. It broke my heart that I couldn't call up my Grandpa and tell him how much he meant to me. I wanted to thank him for helping me learn so much throughout my whole life. Even tho I couldn't thank him personally, I thanked God for placing him in my life. And, I'm sure God passed along the message to him. :)
It was four years ago (last Friday) that my Grandpa passed away. He's probably singing bass, in the choir, with the angels right now.
I miss singing along to the Cathedrals with you. I miss going thrifting with you. I miss sharing jamocha shakes with you. I miss you surprising me with Hello Kitty things. I miss your smile. I miss taking road trips with you. I miss watching you work. I miss counting airplanes with you. I miss you.

Thank you, Sierd VanDussen, for being the best Grandpa I could ever ask for.
