A Rare Picture
Posted by AnonymousNY on August 19th, 2009. Filed under: Relations.My grandfather passed away yesterday. Thank you all for your tweets and support. I usually shy away from personal pictures on here, but I am finding it comforting to look at pictures of Sir. Unfortunately I don’t have many. I don’t, or rather did not, see him often and my family is not big on pictures. What I will remember most about him, besides the big historical things, is how happy he always was and how he would always whistle little songs while he was working. I am going to miss him very much.
Do you know how long it took to upload that tiny-ass picture?! Here is another picture of my grandparents together. They loved each other so much.
He gave the blessing over dinner at my wedding. He was in so much pain, I later learned. They drove him straight to the hospital after the wedding. I am so glad he was there.
I’m so grateful that such a wonderful man was my grandfather and blessed my life in so many ways.

I’m totally crying over here. He is adorable! And reminds me of my own father for some reason. And your grandmother is beautiful – I’m so happy they had so many years of happiness. (Also, as an aside in case it’s not appropriate, you were a gorgeous bride!). Thinking of you ever day honey and sending good thoughts to you and your family.

God bless you Sir! You sound like you were a wonderful grandfather.
Many hugs to you girl. It’s never easy losing someone we love.
