Celebrating a Life

It seems rather hard to believe that a year has come and gone. Last year this day my grandfather passed away from a hard battle with cancer. He was a one of a kind man. He would anything and everything he could for his family, they were his first priority. Farming was his life. You would always see him driving around on the farm in his truck with one window down looking at the crops with his sidekick dog in the truck with him. He loved to golf and hunt, even hunting and golfing while battling his sickness.


There are so many moments we shared that I hold very near and dear to my heart. Stories of hunting together, training me for the Olympics, working on the farm, driving in the Mac trucks with him on short trips, going on the Alaska cruise and so many more.

Sometimes it still doesn't seem real that he is not around. We always thought he would be there, forever. He is around though, in our hearts and our memories of him.



So today, celebrate life!! Celebrate family!! Celebrate the memories you have!! I know I sure will!!
