September 13

Once upon a time, just about a hundred years ago, a special man was born in a growing town in Northern Indiana. He had lots of brothers and sisters and immigrant parents from Poland. He loved animals very much and was very good with numbers and games. He had a kind heart and married a sweet Catholic girl who gave life to my Mother. Granddad, I wish I had the privilege of knowing you. Heres celebrating a pivotal life began 96 years ago today!...I love you.

It's so hard to believe that he would be 96 if had lived. Though we never met him, I feel as though I know him and I only know him as a handsome, young man. I can't quite get my mind to believe him as a frail little old man like Grandpa John.

Yes, its a good 2nd choice- probably best for my current situation. I'm still going to be very busy without much down time only to have a few hours to sleep :)I'm still helping that family out with the twins too.
I hope your week has been better! How are the rest of your classes?
love you

Jen, I never thought about that. of course! i've never pictured him old like grandpa john either. he would probably look just like aunt helen, don't you think? it is really difficult to believe that he COULD still be here, yet he died 52 years ago...wow.
