Grandpa's Wisdom

Gentle soul, I vividly remember Rare gem of a man A mensch, he sure was North Star of the family Down to earth and so kind Proud father of six A gifted raconteur who... Showered me with stories of old Wise man whose words I absorbed and imbibed as a youth Seeds of insight he embedded in me Droplets of life lessons he sprinkled One-of-a-kind sage; this great man was... My beloved, late grandfather. Date written: 01/18/2022

Lovely write. I loved both my grandfathers and my grandmothers so so so much. They were incredible as I'm sure yours was. God bless you. Love, Gina
