Grandpa Greene's passing.

Grandpa Greene passed away on the the 1st of this month. I've been thinking about him and grandma a lot the past few days. Even though we knew that he was sick I thought he was doing well lately. So I guess I was a little suprised. We are fortunate to have a book that Rick and Mandy made that has just tons of cool pictures of grandma and grandpa and their brothers and sisters as well as kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. We did a lot of fun things with them. I remember going to their house on the water and playing on their slip-n-slide for hours on end. Grandpa took us innertubing on the back of the boat, I remember having so much fun doing that that my smiler hurt. Grandpa making home made ice cream and salmon for family get togethers. A man that had a lot of character-- he always worked hard. He took really good care of the things he owned, and I remember as a kid even noticing that he took really good care of things. A quiet happy man with a big heart. I guess as I stand back and think about it life is so short. But it seems to me that grandpa lived a very full life. I will always remember him as a man that loved a lot. When he was here and hugged me or other people, you could tell he really meant it. I know he is in heaven now and with his Father in Heaven. And he's not sad. But we are, because truly good people like grandpa is aren't so common.
