My Grandpa

My Grandpa passed away this morning. I am sad that he is no longer with us, but he doesn't have to suffer any more.  He is in a much better place now.  These last couple of months my Aunt Jean has taken care of my Grandpa in her home.  I am so thankful for what she has done for him.

My Grandpa was a wonderful man. He has been an inspiration to not only me, but I'm sure to most people who knew him.

My Grandpa is a fighter.  Over 8 years ago he was diagnosed with Guillain Barre syndrome.  He survived, but he was paralysed.  He spent a year in the hospital doing physical therapy so he could walk again. 

My Grandpa always had a great attitude even when faced with all of his medical issues. 

My Grandpa loved my Grandma so much.  I remember Grandpa told me once that they have never had a fight. 

My Grandpa loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren very much. 

I am going to miss my Grandpa so much.  He was such a gentle, kind, loving man.  He has inspired me in so many ways -
Thank you Grandpa - I love you very much!
