I miss our long life talks and what not to do. I am truly sorry for all the younger years that we have missed, even though i it was out of our hands. I think i would have loved to listen to your stories as we would be fishing along the shore laughing and sipping on some ice cold Pepsi..it would have been a picture of a lifetime… me,you, and dad..i miss you grandpa.
