...the drive to Atlanta.
...Thanksgiving Dinner.
...clam chowder. Not the white potato based soup, but the Manhattan, tomato based broth.
...thunder as Poppo bowling in the sky.
...not being able to stand to wait through school, knowing he'd be home when I got there.
...visiting his brothers and sisters, none of whom I knew, but who all made me feel like family.
...playing tag at the house in Atlanta.
...the woodshop.
...breakfast in the kitchen.
...playing in the stream and woods.
...climbing the trees in the backyard.
...watching him mow the lawn.
...gathering in KY.
...moving to IN.
...the surgery.
...if you want to see him again, you need to come home this weekend.
...visiting him at the hospital.
...visiting him at the nursing home.
My grandfather passed away early this morning. He was 89 years old. I realize now there were things I would have liked to know, that I never got the chance to ask him. I'll miss him. Please excuse the a lack of posting if one occurs. I promise that when my muse returns, I wll too.

I lost my grandfather - the man who gave me my name - nearly 15 years ago.
I still miss him every single day.
