There are so many feelings, memories and special moments about my amazing grandfather that I wish I could share, but it would take forever...
Grandpa was such a wonderful, funny, kind and most importantly loving man.
Growing up there was one thing for me personally that I will never forget, the wiggling of his ears... when I was a child, it was extremely funny. He would stop and say say â??Hey! Look!â? As he wiggled his ears... My teenage years came and went and he would still wiggle his ears as I would try to copy him. Always thinking I could do it like him to which I never succeeded. Through my 20â??s even if we would be in mid conversation he would stop to to wiggle those ears and I would smile, laugh and say â??Grandpa, come on now!â? He would always smile after he did.
When I saw him just weeks ago as I knew it would most likely be the last time I saw him I would walk in and out of his room so he wouldnâ??t see my cry.
As he laid down so he could rest I knelt down by his bed as I rubbed his hand and telling him over and over that I loved him so much my tears I could no longer hold back.
I asked him one last time if he could wiggle his ears for me... he paused, looked me in the eyes and as tired as he was for a split second I saw his ear wiggle.
I am forever grateful that man was in my life. I am thankful for every single happy moment, every dinner he took us kids out to, every family party he was a part of, every conversation we had and I will forever hold dear to my heart OUR special moment that I share with you all today.
