Day of Remembrance

Most of you probably dont care about this but this is for me to remember so you don't have to read it.......

Today is my Grandpa Clark's birthday. I miss him dearly.... He would be 89 today. He died June 12, 2002 of cancer. He was a fighter! I remember going to stay with him in his last days and we would just talk and talk, even though he did not feel good. I have so many memories with my Grandpa that I cherish. I wish I had a picture of him that I could post. After my Grandpa died me and my dad were in my dads garage and I remember seeing this shovel that was really thin at the top of the handle. You could tell that it had been used a lot..... I asked my dad when he was going to throw this shovel away and he said "never.. it was grandpa's it one of the very few things I have left of him." It made me tear up a bit. He was such a hard worker and this was just an example of it. He had such a great sense of humor too. I never did get to meet my mom's dad, he died in a boating accident when she was 18. So I was very attached to my grandpa Clark. I hope to never forget all the wonderful memories of riding horses and the good convo's we had or when he would get bored he would always come to our house and walk in the back door and you could hear his cowboy boots on tile floor. Brings a smile to my face to think about and maybe a little tear. :) Andy said today before he left to work, lets take some flowers to his grave tonight. I am so grateful for Andy, he is always so thoughtful and thinks of me. I am sure my grandpa would have loved him. I will post pics later.

Other news.. Andy first turned down that job on tuesday, they called him back and offered him some more money and a few other things. Andy called me and was not sure what to do. After talking with his dad, and thinking it over he decided to take the job. He had a very neat experience with this all and we feel this is where we should be right now. He starts in two weeks. He is VERY sad to leave his dad and brother at work but he feels it is the right thing to do for us as a family.
