Cherish Your Time


Last Saturday my Grandpa Arnie passed away. He had been in pain for some time and he went very peacefully. I have many good memories of visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Seattle. They would always have IBC root beer for us and yummy sandwiches. Grandpa Arnie loved to send e-mails with stories and pictures, ie: forwards! I have some e-mails from him that I have saved over the past few years. One is from February 2005. I was going through a very hard time and he sent words of encouragement. The second is from April 2005 when I got engaged. Even though he is gone I will always have those memories to cherish and remember him by.
