Father's Day Tribute To My Grandfather

Father’s Day Tribute to My Grandfather Written on June 2, 2012 Updated on June 11, 2014 Resembling Groucho Marx as you aged, I often found you dozing in your favorite chair. Perhaps, dreaming of your parents, or when you arrived in America on Ellis Island with your Mother and brothers? Your tired skin was a result of a working man’s life. Your green tattoo on your arm was a souvenir of your veteran status. Always caring, you were the leader of the team I was born into. You protected the family psyche and integrity, and wisely guided us with your voice of reason. Even though you are no longer here in the physical world, You are forever in my heart and soul.
