This picture is very dear to me in memory of my Grandfather who has recently passed. We went up to Montana to his home a couple of weeks ago, which was the first time we have been back since he has been gone . These lilac trees have been in his yard as long as I can remember. This would be last time....a farewell to the best Grandfather a girl could have ever had. He holds a special place in my heart as he does with the rest of my family. There are certain things that I hold very dear and I feel that our relationship needed no words because when we were together it was just a feeling of hearts. Being the first grandchild to be born, I got the priviledge of some very special memories and moments that only we shared. His baseball glove will be the most treasured piece I will ever have from times long ago. It was he who brought me the love of softball that I even to this day yearn to do once again. He was always a cheerer on my side as he will be from above looking down. He was a part of wonderful childhood memories, as my uncle Mike....those two together- Wow what a pair- the two men that were by my side growing up when I had no other.
My grandfather's passing has brought a lot of vision into my life and my heart. I realize now where I must go and where my heart lies. My family that I love so dearly back in Montana is just as important as the family I now have as an adult- we need each other- all of us. It is sad how we all, at some time or another, take so much for granted and get too caught up in all the daily grind to remember the things that are most important.
TO MY FAMILY....I LOVE YOU ALL- YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!
