It just so happens that I will be finishing with all the mental cramming a final semester of college can throw my way, at my grandfathers desk. I hadn't thought much of it until today when we haled the wooden old style executive desk up to my house from Hot Springs. My Gramps is gone almost a year now and I feel just as close to him today as I did then. He had such a distinct character and way about him that I can sense him just by thinking. This desk would have made him very happy in its new use and I think getting to sit here will stamp a new flavor on my memories that are yet to come. Thanks Gramp for all your love and sound wisdom about the duties of life, they are still guiding my choices and will always.
Your grandpa was amazing. I am so glad I got to meet him. He had such warmth and kindness that I see in you too.
