Hi guys,

I blog and today I was feeling particularly nostalgic for my grandfather and what he meant me. I just finished it up and posted it:

I thought some of you might enjoy reading this and probably have similar feelings about loved ones.

What a beautiful memory and tribute to your "paw paw".

I am trying to be the person my dogs think I am.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Oh Majal! That was so beautiful! Your Pawpaw sounds like he was a wonderful man and blessing to have in your life! I loved reading about him and I could picture is grin in my mind. :)

Beautiful tribute! As a musician I can appreciate the music and the influence it had in my life.
Thanks for sharing!

Majal,
That was a wonderful tribute to your dear pawpaw. I can totally relate to how you feel, as I feel the same for my dear gramps that I lost 3 years ago this month. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to have our wonderful grandparents in our lives.
Hugs,

Majal, thank you for sharing such a beautiful tribute to your Papaw with us. In every word you wrote, I could see the soul of him. Absolutely beautiful.
