It seems like yesterday that this photo was taken at my sister's track meet. Grandpa, it hasn't quite been 9 months since I last saw you, but I hope that I still make you proud. I'm onto my second year of college in Fort Wayne, majoring in radiologic technology. I miss you so much. Until then, I'll see you soon Grandpa.
Grandpa and Grandpa,
I want to extend out a very special thank you to the both of you. A thank you for both being such a hard workers to make our family farm what it is today. I miss you both every day. I wish that we could have just one more conversation together. Thank you for all of the memories that both gave us grandkids at your farm house. Thank you for allowing us to pick pears and apples from your trees (even though we were the best at picking the ripe ones). Thank you for always allowing my siblings and I to spend those endless days at your house while my dad worked out in the fields.
Grandma, it's been over 10 years since I last saw you, but every time that I smell peppermint tea, or see any cardinals outside my window, I think of you. Whenever I chew Wrigley's Double Mint gum, I think of you. Whenever I smell peanut butter cookies freshly come out of the oven, I think of you, Those 9 years of my life with you in them, I will never forget. I love you.
Granpa, thank you for all of the endless laughs and endless conversations about how all of us children were "corkers". I miss all of those times too. Thank you for putting up with my sisters and I going gymnastics in your living room, I know that both you and Grandma got so nervous when us girls would do that stuff. Thank you for raising my dad in a way that makes me look up to him for being a great man. Thank you for all of the meals that you and Grandma prepared for my siblings and I. Also thank you for the countless cookies that you and Grandma made too. Those were my favorite.
It's exciting to know that one day we will all be reunited with you two. Until then, I will forever cherish our memories with you both. I hope that I continue to make you both proud, I love you.
Grandma and Grandpa, I'll see you both soon.
Your grand-daughter,
