Treasure of Memories: Cheers to Giving Thanks

Tonight is the night before Thanksgiving, and this is my first holiday without my Paw Paw.  I will be thinking of him during tomorrow's prayer, hearing his reverent voice.  

Sometimes, I'm reminded of him when I least expect it, usually when I'm driving in my car.  That's my time to think, letting my mind wander.  I'm reminded that last year at this exact time, my Paw Paw was in the hospital, and we were discussing my past, present, and future.  It was my Paw Paw's way of making sure I was going to be all right.  That's how he showed his granddaughters he loved them.

He was a man of few words, but of great action, and unbeknownst to most, he helped many.  He wasn't one to brag, or complain for that matter - his life, an example for all.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for a treasure of memories of my cornerstone and the application of humble lessons.

With love and fond memories,

Your loving granddaughter
