10 years...

Mom always says that their are many reasons to celebrate, and anniversaries are one of the things that top the list.  Today we mark 10 years...the 10 year anniversary of our Grandpa's death.  While this isn't something that one would typically celebrate, Mom has made sure that we are going to commemorate all things Grandpa Wayne today.  A few of the things on the agenda include talking a long walk with Wrigley, whistling to the cardinals in our yard, eating lots of ice cream, and having a juicy steak for dinner...all things he would have loved!  Who knows, we may be able to squeeze in a documentary on the history channel as well if there is time!!!  We're sure a few tears will be shed along the way, but we know it is okay to be sad and to miss you; after all we wish Grandpa could be here doing all these fun things with us.  We also know that it is okay to smile and be happy, because we have no doubt that Grandpa loves us and that he'd want us to enjoy life just as much as he did!

Michelle, I always do pretty good on this day and then I read your post and the tears start falling. We all miss him every day but March 30 is always a little bit more emotional. But we were blessed to have him for 64 years.
