Hi Pop, I am so ashamed and sorry I haven't been there, I am just learning now. No excuses. I will miss your stories of us talking late at night when Mimi was asleep, and of you growing up; and everything you "tried" to teach me about life. You are the reason I do Crossword puzzles today. Also, how much you sacrificed for your family; to provide for them, I get IT; now. Now that I am a GrandPa; I now understand about all the stories you have told me of; and how you put yourself aside for everyone else. I too am learning, now that I am older, that with your insight, along with my current situation, will allow me to teach my grandson, TRUE values, of working hard and being a good man. I wish I had the guts to come and see you before this; I just couldn't do it. I wish you could have met Kayden, he is just the most awesome, polite child you ever met. He is so good, you would be proud of him. He is a good little man. He gives me SO much joy.... I will take your learnings, and show him the way. Your talks did not fall on deaf ears. All of my childhood memories, are at that House, that is where I grew up, that is where I learned the most. My only wish: is that I have as much of an impact on my Grandson as you did Yours, and I live long enough as you did; to see him grow. Please kiss Mimi for me too. Love you Pop! whojapasitethere!! and yes, I am teaching this to Kayden.
