Grandpa Burns
Ten years ago today, my Grandpa Burns died. Today I am taking the time to remember him, even with the little I can remember.
I was around 5 years old when he died. The only memories I have of him was when he was eating a strawberry sunday on a table in a large cafeteria-looking room, and also of him drinking a Coke at the same place. I think I remember one of my cousins wanting his sunday (maybe it was Katie), but he just kept eating it. Haha. I think I can also remember going to visit him with my Aunt Lisa, Jimmy, and my cousins, but very vaguely. And I also remember he liked Fig Newtons. It's funny how these memories seem to revolve around food.
I read what my Aunt Lisa wrote on her blog about him. It made tears come to my eyes... I wish I had been able to know him better. I should be happy that I at least got to meet him, since my Grandma Burns died before I was born. But at least I can still hope that I'll see all of them again someday with God.

hello,
i recently wrote a post about abortion and pro-life rhetoric and i realize that most of the people who read my stuff agree with me... i need to hear from people with opposing views. i haven't ever really heard any meaningful, substantive arguments for pro-life activism and i think it's my fault for not seeking it out. so that's what i'm doing! i'm going through some pro-life blogrings and seeing if anyone would like to comment on my post. be warned, though, it's quite abrasive, but i feel pretty strongly about it.
if you would like to comment, i thank you!
grace & peace,
elliott
It's always sad to remember those who passed away especially if it's a love one. My grandpa died 3 years ago and well we still remembers him and he's always with us through the memories we have of him. Unlike you I was able to spend or know my grandpa for a long time.
Hey Catherine........that was nice to remember grandpa......he had a hard life:(......but he was so blessed to have your grandma. You would have so loved her! What an incrediable women........she laughed alot to. I'm so looking forward to seeing them both in heaven! Love Aunt Lisa
