~ Farewell to Our Granddaddy i
Ax long as I can remember, my grandfather always kepi a smile on his j face. When his grandkidx were around, he never looked sad or complained about his sickness and (hat $ why we thought he wax okay. I Our granddad always encourages its to do well and succeed in fife. He^ said to me, "Since you like computers, you should go to college for \ Computer-Engineering. " Our grandfather was always happy to see M.V < and he made the best of it. Even though he knew he didn ( have enough to give to us, he gave from his heart. But, now (hat he is in heaven with the angels, I wish he could have lived a little longer to see me go to college. Our granddaddy loved everyone, especially his two precious children and his sweet grandchildren. Although he is gone, he will always be loved and have a place in our hearts.
