Goodbye Grandpa Witbeck

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything but the death of my Grandpa Witbeck merits something of a post. I have been enjoying my newfound role as stay at home mom and we have been starting a new business so I have been very very busy. Grandpa has moved me to slow down though and think of my family. He was truely a remarkable man who could make a friend anywhere he went. He spent countless hours nursing us back to health with his garlic tea (nasty!), teasing and joking with us, and telling us stories of when he was a boy or when he was in World War II. We always looked forward to being able to go to Canada and see him or him being able to come to the states and see us! I am very sad to see such a wonderful and noble man leave this world, but I am comforted that he is not suffering and that he is with his family. I know I will see him again someday. Thanks Granpa for all that you did for me. I love you and will always love you!
