Have you ever been so fond of some people (or animals), that you feel as though they could be your whole heart? I felt this way about my Grandpa.
He both valued hard work and people who struggled. Above that he valued working hard and working together so that people didn’t have to struggle. He was a major architect of my care for others, sense of justice, and desire to make the world a better place.
No one, as a combination of things, was as fun, smart, kind, and wise to me as a small child, and very few (before or since) made me feel as loved and delighted in as he and my Grandma did. A precious and invaluable thing to feel, perhaps especially as a child.
His being proud of me meant the world to me. I still have so much to do, and I wish so much I could still tell him about it. If I am also grateful he made it to 97 (still doing 1 armed pushups in his 90s). An incredible man has passed, my Grandpa, my whole heart.
Miss you, love you always Grandpa
