| Aged 21 |
My dear Grandfather went home to be with his maker last week at age 87 and we celebrated his life this week in a joyful family-oriented service that gave glory to God, just as his life did. A beautiful, humble, dedicated, prayerful man who had a great sense of humour and loved each grandchild (19 of us and 19 great-grandchildren) like we were his only grandchild.
Both he and my Grandma have been such wonderful examples to us in marriage and life. I remember my grandmother telling me a story about Grandpa copping a bit of flack from her family for not having a second job and earning more money as Grandpa chose to spend time with his wife and five children instead. I am grateful for that decision and what a profound impact it has had on my entire family. A family that value one other and relationships. It was a very emotional day but wonderful to be surrounded by family and friends, people that understood just how I was feeling.

I didn't realise that about Gpa and the money. There you go. Maybe on the facebook page we should post our stories about Grandpa - we might all learn something new.
