Eve, you brought back some memories of my own grandfather as he was similar to yours. He told amazing stories too and I thought he was a very wise man, but he died when I was five. Still think of him, especially when I read your poem. You wrote a super poem for the contest and I wish you success.

It would have been nice, to have a story telling grandpa. My grandpa's brother was the story teller. Man he could tell some whoppers:) I used to sit around the old country store listening to stories of other old men. I guess it's where I learned to have an imagination. Enjoyed your poem, Mrs Eve.:)

Daniel it is nice to think of those loved ones with the special gift they left behind.. I use to watch and listen to my father in-law tells us some big whoppers like you mention as my husband has followed suit in carrying the memories. My grandchildren just soak every story he tells...

Very beautiful Eve. I was very close to my grandfather. His wife, my grandmother, died before I was born. He never married again. Your tribute is lovely! 7 ; )
