Things have been crazy busy around here, but even sorrier to read that you lost your Grandad. <br /><br />What a wonderful long fulfilling life he had though! We miss these older people in our lives when they leave us but it's always such a blessing when you can smile and know that they had a wonderful time while they were here!<br /><br />Amazing how things work out like they do, isn't it? You sending his letters early and receiving his early as well...really, just amazing! xoxoShereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00864989446319120850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-10266111797215734852010-12-12T07:38:50.992-08:002010-12-12T07:38:50.992-08:00Very touchy.
