Our family of seven, Papa, Mama, and us five children, were blessed to live in the same house with Gramps and Grandmother (maternal) for the first nine years of my life.\u00a0 Gramps spoiled us rotten as is one of the rights of grandparents.\u00a0 There is no doubt in my mind, heart, or soul that his love for me gave me the needed spark to live that spurred me on through a difficult childhood.\u00a0 His character and personality taught me more about life than any written or spoken words ever could.\u00a0 Gramps’ outlook on life was always positive; and he focused on seeking the good in others.\u00a0 I learned to laugh and develop a healthy sense of humor that is an integral part of my being.\u00a0 He made life fun.\u00a0 As soon as I learned to count, he taught me how to play poker; count money; dicker for the lowest price; and count seconds between a lightning strike and the responding thunder clap.\u00a0 His attitude toward others was open and never confrontational.\u00a0 I learned never to go to bed angry.\u00a0 He taught me more by the way he lived his life and treated others than he ever knew.\u00a0 His laid back demeanor taught me not to sweat the small things in life.\u00a0 I learned the rules of baseball listening to games on hot Summer afternoons; and have been a Braves fan since their move to Atlanta in 1966.\u00a0\u00a0 Liberace was a household word as well as a New Year’s Eve tradition.\u00a0 Gramps planted many seeds of a life well lived; and I hope that these have grown in me and shine brightly today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
