I ve been thinking about my Grandfather a lot lately. I don t know why, but I have.
Today would have been his 117th birthday, and I felt like I wanted to sit down and write something about him. So here I am. It s not a sad thing, because even though he s been gone 39 years - I still feel like he s with me every day.
That s the impact he had on my life.
In short, Pa , as we called him, was the beating heart of our family. The foundation. His quiet and caring way didn t need a lot of words. Matter of fact, he told me he loved me ONCE. That sounds strange by today s standards- but I can assure you, it was something that was always understood, and I never doubted it for a second. French Canadian folks were buttoned up when it came to emotions, and Pa was old school French-Canadian. There was right and there was wrong. There was respect and there was kindness. Always. But showering you or anyone with emotion wasn t something they did. You just KNEW.
