My Grandpa

These past few days I have been thinking alot. You never know how long people are going to be around. I wanted to dedicate this post to my Grandpa, Dan Milich. He is such a remarkable man with great wisdom, a Santa belly that I love to wrap my arms around, a big laugh and a warm heart of gold.

Here is a list of just a few things about my Grandpa.

1.) He is so kind to everyone he meets and he loves everyone, especially his family.

2.) He hopes the best for each one of his family members.

3.)He only speaks of the good and happy times, no matter what troubles he's going through.

4.) He is a great fisherman and loves to take the boat out.

5.) He is always full of fun stories about his childhood and his life.

6.) He gives such good advice.

7.) He has a strong testimony of the gospel & loves it with all his heart.

8.) He loves and adores his sweetheart, Grannie B.

9.) He loves to go get a "licker." (ice cream cone!)

10.) He also loves to go get a hamburger.

11.) He gives the best hugs.

12.) He always seems to know all the answers to anything.

13.) He loves to watch Western movies.

After thinking about things these past few days and deciding to write this post, I thought about how to express my feelings for grandpa. I'm not very good with words but I can always relate to what other people say. So I found the following 2 poems that I think just about do it.

A Poem for My Grandpa (Author Unknown)

My Grandpa, you are so special to me,

You teach me to be happy and free.

I love spending our fun days together,

We always find a new adventure.

You don’t mind answering my questions “Why?”,

You pick me up and carry me high.

My Grandpa, you take the time to teach,

And let me see things above my reach.

With you, I always feel safe and secure,

I’ll love you forever, ever more.

We say goodbye with a hug and kiss,

As I make a big, big special wish…

My wish for you, Grandpa, please, please don’t go.

Why? Because I love, love, love you so….

Grandpa (Author Unknown)

You always have the time to listen, when everyone else is busy.

Your wisdom seems to put my mind at ease.

You know what I'm going through because you've been there before.

I love the talks and stories of the places you've been and things you've seen.

You make me slow down and see the world for what it really is.

When I remember my childhood, I think of you.

This is my chance to tell you how much I love you.

Grandpa, thank you for always being there for me and having such great advice. You are a loving man with a big heart. You'll always be my Grandpa and I'll love you forever.
