This is just a small tribute to a great man in my life.
11:15 p.m. last night.
Gramps wrote the last sentence of his life.
Dotted his "i"s.
Crossed his "t"s.
Crossed his "t"s.
Ended with a period.
The End.
He told me 2 hours before he was gone... Bye Cath. I kissed him and rubbed his hair.
How much I love him, I hope he knew. I'm sure he did.
So here's to you Gramps, my biggest fan, my favorite Christmas day partner in crime, my egg mcmuffin bringer, my drive-thru car wash hero, my swimming instructor, my great "philosopher" and teacher... the list goes on and on.
I love you. I miss you. I'll always remember the lessons you've taught me. I carry your legacy.
Forever.

Awww, I'm all choked up from your beautiful tribute to your wonderful Grandpa. He sounds like a wonderful man who was everything a grandpa should be! That he left a lasting legacy is wonderful!
Prayers for the comfort of your family at this difficult time. ((hugs))
Very sweet. And Becky said all the stuff I was thinking - including the prayers for you all.
Cat, what a beautiful tribute to your grandpa! I wish I was close to my grandpa like that. You're blessed! Love, you! Vonnie
