Happy Birthday Grandpa

Today is my Grandpa's Birthday, he has been in Heaven for 13 years later this month. There are some things I wish I could have shared with him before he was gone and some things that have happened recently that I wish I could share with him. All day today I have been trying to figure out how I wanted this post to go and exactly what I wanted to say and I have cried a lot. So this is letter I would send my Grandpa W.

Dear Grandpa,
I can't believe it has been so long since I have been able to sit and listen to the wonderful stories you loved to share about your life in Kentucky as a boy, and then your life after you moved to Indiana. I loved hearing about all your adventures and learning about our family. I bet you are still telling your stories up there, and I bet you have a very captive audience. I hope you have told Grandma some stories about me and my family as well. Give her a hug for me. Megan is very honored to be named after you and she loves listening to me tell her stories about you and your farm, and how I used to love to pet the cattle and how much I loved playing in the barns, Dawn and Chelsea also enjoy hearing the stories. I always thought it was so cool that my birthday was just 2 days after yours, it made me feel closer to you. It still seems weird to go home and not see your house or the barns, but they live on in my heart and my stories. I love it when people tell me that some of the things I do, say and just how I am remind them of you. That is the best compliment :) I didn't get the chance to go on a trip to Kentucky with you like so many others in the family did, so I am hoping that soon I will be able to go their with my Dad and he can tell me some stories about you. He is a pretty good story teller too :) I hope you are having a wonderful Birthday in Heaven and I just wanted to let you know that I love you and I miss you.
Love,
Christy
