Today is my grandpa's 96th birthday! I can't imagine what is like to be that age, and all of the things he has seen and experienced in his life. It is truly amazing. I am so blessed to have him in my life still, and to be living in the same city with him where I have been able to build such a wonderful relationship with him. I'm also fortunate to have him be a part of so many milestones in my life, I feel not many people are that fortunate. We celebrated last night, his 3 daughters all drove in town and my dad (his only son) were all there to be a part of it. It was a very special night. Happy Birthday, Grandpa. I love you!
