My Grandpa...
I wanted to include a poem that my daughter wrote about her grandpa Sept of 2005. It was read at his funeral as a tribute.
"My Grandpa"
A heart as pure as the Man who put it in him,
Always beating so passionatly for life.
"How's the kiddies?" He'd ask
Consistently concerned for the ones that he loved.
His love for pepper blackened food,
Explained the abnormally large holes in his pepper shaker.
His Christmas's unique & special everytime,
Every moment to be treasured.
Hardest working man you'll ever find,
Never missed a day of work.
Honestly, a small town man.
With enough love & humbleness for the world.
Knowing the value of a dollar,
Therefore appreciating his blessings.
But he was our blessing.
In every aspect, a blessing to our lives.
Truly and inspiration!
It is an honor to strive to be like him...
My Grandfather... Charles Lee (Bud) Graham
A phenomenal Man!

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. My great aunt has alzheimer's so I understand how hard it is for someone you love to slip away before your very eyes.
I can't believe with all you have going on in your life you had time to wander into my corner of the world with all my drama. Thank you for your kind words. I know nothing I can say can help you heal any faster, but my thoughts will be with you.

PS On a lighter note, congrats on the weight loss!
Stacy,
Thank you for your kind words. It has been hard. After years of avoiding the situation, and now that he is gone I wish I would have spoke up to everyone, that I wanted some time alone with him before he passes. There was so many thing I wanted to say to him, things I needed to say, but didn't. Now I regret that. Yes I could still stay them but it just isn't the same.
