And while he was 79, it is still so sad to be here on the farm without him this weekend. He loved to grow things, too. How blessed we are to have such wonderful memories.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-22485109932389153222010-06-03T18:44:59.467-04:002010-06-03T18:44:59.467-04:00What a lovely tribute to your Grandpa Kylee.

Even though I was thinking of my grandpa yesterday and wishing he were here, I thought to myself...how wonderful that he is still in our hearts and comes to mind even 42 years later.<br /><br />I hope your gardens are surviving our odd spring!<br /><br /><b>Earth Girl ~ </b>Thanks, Martha.<br /><br /><b>Carolyn Gail ~ </b>Yes, we sing it often in church and it's rather difficult for me to sing it well all the way to the end. Something always gets stuck in my throat...<br /><br /><b>Robin ~ </b>I would love it, too, even if it didn't have special meaning for our family.<br /><br /><b>Gail ~ </b>Thanks, Gail.<br /><br /><b>Garden Lily ~ </b>I didn't mean to make you cry, but sometimes crying is good for you, isn't it? :-)<br /><br /><b>Monica ~ </b>Oh wow...I know I'm fortunate. My grandma, who was nearly killed in that accident is still with us at 95, and in good health. My great-grandma (this grandfather's mother) lived to be 95, so I knew her well, too. On my dad's side, I never knew my grandfather and my grandma died of cancer when I was eight years old, so I have few memories of her. Grandparents are such special people in our lives when we get to spend time with them.<br /><br /><b>Peg ~ </b>I'm glad if my post brought some good memories to mind. Yes, age is a weird thing, isn't it? Most of us don't feel anything close to what age our birth certificates say we are.<br /><br /><b>min hus ~ </b>Wow... you really can relate to me. I wonder the exact same things you do. *hugs*<br /><br /><b>Aunt Kay ~ </b>I knew this would be an emotional post for you, who lost him when you were just 29. Younger than Kara... Wow.

Thanks for sharing something so personal. ...Kylie,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing something so personal. Your post brought tears to my eyes. <br /><br />I too lost my grandpa unexpectedly when I was 11 and he was 55, so I know a bit of what you might have experienced. We were close and I still miss him. I often wonder what he'd think of how I turned out, or wished I could get his advice about something. Our loved ones may be gone, but they are never forgotten.min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-46855500777107002742010-06-03T13:03:46.602-04:002010-06-03T13:03:46.602-04:00What a wonderful tribute to your Grandpa, Kylee. ...What a wonderful tribute to your Grandpa, Kylee. ♡<br />Brings tears to the eye & thoughts of my own special Gramps who died at 63.<br /><br />Monica has a good point about relative ages.

A friend's husband just died at 63. Yeah, those used to be grandparent's ages, and then parent's ages, and now getting closer and closer to being contemporaries' ages. You are lucky you knew your grandparents. I met all four of mine exactly twice in my life.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-85774647770940177352010-06-02T22:56:51.504-04:002010-06-02T22:56:51.504-04:00How beautiful - it made me cry - in a good way.
