Grandpa

Has it really been four months since I have blogged? Who knew! I guess not much has compelled me to blog until recently. I am terrible at keeping a journal, so I want to write on here about Grandpa Miller. I always wanted my children to meet all of their great grandparents. Sadly, that won't happen on this earth, but I am grateful for the knowledge that my kids will someday meet one of their great grandfathers later on. I really want my kids to understand how great of a man he was.

Grandpa Miller has always been, and always will be, one of my biggest heroes. His attitude about life couldn't be matched. He was always positive about everything! I never understood how he could be so kind to everyone. I don't think I ever went anywhere with him and left without him getting to know someone better. He had a special gift that allowed him to talk to anyone and make them comfortable. Grandpa had an awesome sense of humor. He could make Andy and I laugh every time we talked to him; even after we left his house. Andy never knew his grandfathers, so it was a huge blessing to him when we got married and he gained two wonderful grandfathers. I loved watching Andy and Grandpa bond over cars, guns, and everything else.

The thing I admired the most about Grandpa Miller was his love for Grandma. I have often told Andy that when I am older I want to be just as in love as them. He adored everything about Grandma and it was obvious to anyone that knew him.

Someday, I just want my kids to know that their Great Grandpa Miller was a brave man that fought a hard battle with grace. He never complained and never let his health stop him from investing time and energy in our lives. He always had a way of making me feel special and happy. I will miss his phone calls, chocolate frosting, and silly jokes. Most of all, I have recently realized how grateful I am to have a knowledge of The Plan of Salvation. I cannot wait to see him again and give him a big hug! I know that our family can be together forever. We love you, Grandpa!!
