bye grandpa…

Some of you connected to me on Facebook know that my grandfather died on December 27th, 2012.  It’s been tough to come to terms with, for me because I was raised by a single parent, my mother and he was as much a father as a grandfather figure in my eyes.  He wasn’t perfect and certainly wasn’t the best role model but he was the one who taught me how to ride a bicycle, how to swim and dance….and he loved me unconditionally.  I knew it.  Unfortunately, alcoholism controlled a great majority of his life but once he finally became sober, we were able to cultivate a different kind of bond.  One of friendship, respect and compassion.

Miss you  xo
