Pop
Last Friday, my grandfather turned 80 years old. My mother had a dinner for him at her place on Saturday. I was really sorry to miss it.
This is a picture of my Pop from 1954. At that time, he was serving in the Army Signal Repair Depot in Berlin’s Andrews Barracks.
This is a picture of Pop from sometime over the summer. Handsome devil, isn’t he?
I had a hard time getting Jude to stay still and look at the camera that day. This is the best shot of him and Pop that I got.
I miss my grandpa terribly, and I know Josh and Jude do too. Luckily, Pop is quite computer savvy, so in addition to our weekly phone calls, we often chat online at night while I nurse the baby down. Pop is also my most loyal blog-follower.
So, here’s to you, Pop. Happy 80th birthday…a bit belated. We love you and miss you and hope we can convince you to visit us…soon.
Thank you for the tribute Jill
Love you
