I love you Grandpa and I will never forget how you cared for me as a child. Every time I smell baby lotion or get a foot rub, I will miss you. Slurpees, chapstick...how you used to wear your sweats with one leg up and one leg down..these are some of my fondest memories of you. I wish we had more time together. I love you so much.
