My earliest memories of my grandfather was him visiting me in the 80s.He always gave me a $5 bill or a $10 and to a kid in the 80s that bought a lot of candy 🥳. In the 90s he would pick me up on Saturday mornings to help him with some work he did on elder folks homes. These folks where old and unable to take care of their yards but they where not older then my grandfather. He was a small frail elder man and I can remember him grabbing a lawn mower off the back of his little pickup truck in his 70’s and 80s. He would strap on his leaf blower and do such a good job taking care of peoples homes. Some of the people had no money so they would pay him in fruits and vegetables but he didn’t do it for the money,he did it because he loved people. I never heard my grandfather curse or get angry in my life. My grandfather was stationed on a island off the coast of japan during world war 2,he told some funny stories of how cold it was in the mornings there, the wind would blow through the tents during breakfast and blow the coffee out of their cups🤣☕️🇺🇸. During the prohibition era my grandfather as a kid drove hooch in the night in the Fresno area. He shared a story’s with me about visiting San Francisco as a kid before the Golden Gate Bridge was completed,they would cross the bay on a barge. He often visited Waikiki and walked up diamond head many times as a old man. My last memory of him was sitting in his room talking about his military experience,He was a great man and lived 95 years.

A true gift is one that can not be taken away. It lives on and that gives on and on. A true gift is like the love my grandparents shared with their family, friends, and each other. This gift has been inspirational and impact full. It has changed the way i look at my wife ..life and kids.. I hope to emulate the love my grandparents have for each other and to be significant in the life lessons that my kids share with future generations. All i know is the tears i shed are tears of joy as i imagine the smile on my grandparents faces as they reunite with one another in heaven. I love and miss all you have shared with me...especially the love and respect you had for each other. Amen
