Been a tough week, my grandfather passed away. He was a fundamental person in making me a man, taught me how to be hard, tough, and also, how to be wize and kind. He had a grit built into him, like many of that generation. He fought hard till his last breath, and even on dialysis 3 times a week, managed to get up every day, and continue to do what he loved, and support his family. He was an artist with sheet metal, and restoring cars, and even on dialysis, he was out pulling motors, and doing body work. His work won awards all over the PNW, and there was a time when if you raced at the Cottage Grove track, my grandfathers hands worked and touched every car. He fought thru throat cancer, and when he was diagnosed, he put his tobacco pipe down and never again picked it up, that was the kind of determination he had. Please hug your loved ones, for any day, can be their last.
