Remembering Papa

My Grandfather would have been 94. We are celebrating his birthday for the first time without him. He had a long life…well lived…and well loved.

Linda said...: Such a lovely tribute to a man who was obviously very well loved by his family and who will always be remembered.

My grandfather died in 1972 when I was but 13 years old and I still miss him all these years later. There is just something about grandfathers and their special place in our lives that can't be filled by anyone else.; 27 April, 2009 09:19
Sandee said...: That was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It was obvious that your grandmother and grandfather loved each other very, very much. They are so very special. He's in heaven and I hope he's having a wonderful birthday.

Have a terrific day honey. Big hug. :); 27 April, 2009 10:29

Desert Songbird said...: Everyone should be so blessed to be able to look back upon their lives and see these: family, love, and happy times.

YOU are blessed to have had this man in your life. I never knew any of my grandparents; most of them died before I was even conceived, and one I visited just once before she passed away.; 28 April, 2009 08:50
I, Like The View said...: one of my grandfathers lived until he was 92. . .

but for all the years I knew any of them, I never saw any grown-up in my family express love and happiness as even just that first image

you are blessed
