Today is what I refer to as "Grandpa Day"! I know it may seem morbid to 'celebrate' the day that my grandpa left this earth, but I don't see it like that at all! We celebrate the fact that he is in Heaven now and the day he left us on earth, he got to be with Jesus! (Original post about my grandpa's death are here: Details)
I know he is looking down on me each day smiling at the things I have done and the path that I have chosen to take. I know he is so happy to see that I have a wonderful husband. I know he is ecstatic to my sweet Isaac growing up. Sometimes I wonder if he's sad that he's not here with us to celebrate the little milestones of our lives. I really miss him. Although he had his own set of issues, he really was my only stable male role model. And it makes me sad to think that today marks 14 years of him not being with us, I have so many happy memories of spending time with him - and those memories outway the sad ones!
I wish Isaac would have been able to meet his great grandpa Charlie. Oh man, grandpa would've loved that little guy! Isaac is a funny kid and would have made grandpa proud that he likes to goof around as much as he did. And he would have been head over heels in love with our sweet Hailey! I know that she would have him wrapped around her little finger!
Unfortunatly I know I will be reliving the events of that tragic night all day long, but it's okay, I know that going through that has made me stronger. I can't wait to share all of the funny grandpa stories with my sweet Isaac :) And let's hope he doesn't get any ideas from them!!! (like grandpa blowing up the microwave by accidently putting it on for 40 minutes instead of 4..haha)
