Well boys and girls My family and I were dealt a heavy hit on July 7th. My beloved Grandfather passed away. We were very close. He was instrumental in the ways that I look at things and how I overcome problems. He was always tinkering with something, and looking to build a better mousetrap.
The only comforting factor is that I believe he was ready. The love of his life passed seven years ago, and it broke his heart. At our family fourth of July party at his house he had made mention that this was probably going to be the last one. See the fourth is their wedding anniversary and my Grandmothers birthday is the fifth. He made a toast to their anniversary and to Grandma's birthday and then he said "I will see you soon."
He did get to live a full life dieing at age 89. Something he said at the party also was "My sister made it to 92 and we got along pretty well, I don't need to break her record." He was funny that way.
Even when he died he was working on a project on his house. Something that my father or one of the boys could have easily done for him, but he would not have it.
I am gonna miss him very much.

Thanks guys...The funeral was today, so I can start to get my mind back in the game. Things were just a little crazy for the last couple of weeks.
