Now, I know most people are wishing their Dad's a wonderful Fathers Day today but today I'm dedicating today to my grandpa.
Let me explain... When I was 15 years old, my parents separated and later divorced. Over the next few years we barely communicated and rarely saw each other. And trust me, I'm using the terms barely and rarely very generously.
During those years and growing up my grandpa was always there. We'd have family dinners, went on family vacations, go to church together, hang out, etc. To me he was a father figure.
When I was a senior in high school, he had a stroke. Over the next few years, he never fully recovered and was later bedridden. Sadly, four years ago he passed away. I miss him more than words can describe. SO today, I'm wishing and missing my grandpa a Happy Father's Day!
