As we were decorating Grandpa's Grave last week I was reflecting on what will be missed the most this Christmas as Grandpa isn't here to celebrate with us. If there were a contest held to decide who was most excited about Christmas, Grandpa would come out the victor over all- including ALL children. Grandpa was not afraid to admit that he LOVES presents! It was like watching the eyes of a child who just walked into the living room to see what Santa had left to see Grandpa open his Christmas gifts. Every year when I'd ask Grandma for some ideas about what we might get them for gifts, she'd always reply that she didn't want a thing, but Grandpa would love anything! It was true, no matter what was in the present, Grandpa always looked as if he had won the lottery when he discovered the contents.
Your enthusiasm will be sorely missed on Christmas, Grandpa, this year and every year.
