With Grandpa before my high school graduation ceremony in 1999.
If you don’t know my Grandpa, you haven’t read here long enough. Today, he would have been 100 years old.
I credit Grandpa for much of who I am today. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about him and experience his influence on my life. I never once questioned his love for me. Luckily, I can still remember the sound of his voice and his gems of advice when I need his support the most.
I’ve written about Grandpa numerous times, but I searched through the archives to find some of my favorite posts about him.
1. Memories – I still cherish the letters.
2. Grandpaisms – If you look closely, you’ll see he wore the same shirt for my college graduation as he did when I graduated from high school.
3. Happy 96th Birthday – Lots of pictures of the two of us.
4. Happy Birthday, Grandpa – One of my favorite pictures of the two of us.
I’ll be having cake at some point today – and enjoying every bite – while thinking of this very special man. I was lucky to have him in my life for as long as I did!









“Ya want some cake?”
Happy birthday to your grandpa! It’s wonderful that he is still an important part of your life. My own grandpa died when I was 14, and I miss him very much.
Happy Birthday to the cutest card shark I ever knew
Your girl is turning out just fine
