Veteran's Day

Today is Veteran's Day and it is common on this day that two very special men come to mind.

My precious grandfathers.

I hold so much love for both of these men and am so blessed by them

They both served our country and I am so thankful that the Lord allowed me to have such 

honorable men in my life.

Meet Grandad

Grandad is the epitome of so many things: love, sacrifice, honor, hard work, and generosity.

Those are just a few.

He has sacrificed so much in his life for his family.

He puts everything he is and does into loving our family and caring for us.

I love my Grandad so unconditionally and am so thankful for him.

I love my Grandad for calling me every birthday and telling me he loves me.

For taking me to dinner or lunch every time he is near Huntsville.

For instilling in me the hard work ethic he has instilled in our whole family

I love my Grandad for sitting with me and telling me stories of the war and of his childhood.

I love my Grandad for calling me just to see how I'm doing.

He has made my day so many times throughout the past 22 years and I am so blessed by Him.

He faught in the Korean War and sacrificed so much for our country.

It is truly a miracle he is here today and I thank the Lord everyday for Him

So Grandad,

Thank you for all you are.

Thank you for fighting for our country and for being the Christian role model you are for our family.

Thank you for bringing so much happiness to my life and to our family.

I love you and I always will.

Meet Poppop

He brings so much joy to my life.

He is the epitome of patience, a servant heart, simplicity, love, and kindness.

He is a very quiet man but his actions speak volumes.

His thoughtfulness and caring personality astounds me.

He will help any one in a heartbeat.

It doesn't matter what I do in life, even if I disappoint him, I know my Poppop will always love me.

I love my Poppop for showing me the importance in the simple things.

He has taught me how to be thankful.

I love him for his servant heart.

(just 3 weeks ago I was only in town for one day and he surprised me by washing my car...and

on a sunday. You see sunday is a day of rest for my Poppop but he still serves 

others no matter what day it is)

He truly is an amazing man.

Poppop,

Thank you for your loving words and meaningful hugs.

You make my day by coming to visit me in Texas.

I know I don't get to see you much but when I do, I savor those moments.

Thank you for being my Poppop.

I love you so much and always will.

So to all of you who know veterans, call them up today and thank them.

I promise it will make their day.

I know I am so thankful for all of those who serve our country in some manner.

minus Obama...jk...even Obama...sometimes

Happy Veterans Day!
