My heart still aches ......

3 years ago today we lost my grandpa
I miss him just as much today as I did that day.
My life was so blessed to have such an amazing man
who loved me, believed in everything i did, and was always there for me.
Grandpa was a amazing man. A Godly, loving, giving, smart man who worked so hard and was looked up to by people all around him.
He ran a bank, he left a huge legacy in helping to create what we know now as the "Visa" and creating what banks use all over the world as the check routing system, he lectured and taught people how to make millions of dollars ( i should have listened better to that one), he volunteered for years, ran many clubs and charities, this list could go on forever ... all this to say ...
grandpa was one amazing - powerful man... and yes all this was great...
But, more so, when I think of my grandpa...
what comes to my mind is drumstick ice cream, gymnastics and balancing high in the air,
cigars and baby food jars, a good hamburger, spending the night, saturday lunches with he and my great grandma, a great voice, a showman, silly jokes, a brown briefcase,
and love ... love ... love...
My life is better today, because I had such a wonderful inspriation in my life

Grandpa, I love you and miss you everyday.
