All the "kids"... Gary, Mom, Vicki, Mike & Cynthia

.

Easter egg hunts in the forest... driving up the mountain to that big house on a white wonderland where big spruces welcomed us up like soldiers ready to play... hearing all the men playing pool down in the basement where all things wonderful were kept like a huge train set and newspaper clippings like the man landing on the moon and stuff like that... his laugh... amazingly enough, Grandad was one of the first to arrive after I "saw" Santa drop off a load under my tree~ Uncle Mike, I don't think I knew it was you until I was about 10!... playing dolls with him~ I think he was having as much fun as I was... racing up to Aunt Cynthia's because Grandad just shot a deer and they were about to gut it~ my first biology class!... During one of the hardest times in my life he called me at least once a week; I will always hear him telling me he loves me and will always wish I told him just once more~ I love you... Carpe Diem
