Grandpa
After I uploaded my latest blog post I saw the date: January 14. And I immediately remembered that today was the day my grandpa died. I was really young when it happened but it was my first real experience losing someone I loved. It's odd how much I remember about that day even though I was only ten years old. My grandpa was a quiet man. He was a farmer. He had an incredible work ethic. He loved his garden and for some reason I remember that he always cut all the corn off his corn on the cob before he ate it. He died suddenly, suffering a heart attack when he and my grandma got home from counting offering money at church as they did every Monday morning. Funny how certain days stand out in your life. For me, January 14 will always be the day my grandpa died.
