Grandpa's Funeral

On Saturday August 16th we layed my grandpa to rest. We honored him for his service in the Army and we payed him the respect that he deserved. The services were very beautiful. There were allot of stories that were shared that made everyone realize what a character my grandpa was and I wanted to share a story with you.

As a young child my grandfather grew up in a very small town. One Friday afternoon at school him and his class mates were taking a test on this particular day and one of his classmates accused him of cheating off her paper. The teacher confronted him in front of the whole class and he told her that he had not been cheating, she told him to go get in the broom closet and think about what he had done. As he sat there he looked around and he discovered that there was an access hole out of the closet so he crawled, and as he crawled he discovered that it lead him outside and he went home. On Monday morning he got up earlier than anyone else and he went and crawled back into the hole and back into the broom closet. When class started he started knocking on the door to have his teacher let him out, well to her surprise there he was and she thought that he had been in there the whole weekend. He didn't really like the teacher so he didn't tell her otherwise and in later years my grandfather ran into her and she was still apologizing for it and he just kept his little secret.

I learned so much about my grandpa that I didn't know before. As I live on and surround myself with the people that loved him, I am sure I will continue to learn so much more about my Grandpa. I cherish all of those moments that i got to share with him through the years. I love You Grandpa..... until we meet again.
