Grandpa
Magic - laughter - creativity - insightfulness - and empathy, these are the words that resonate in my heart when I think of my experience with my Grandfather.
My grandfather taught me about playfullness and following the heart. He welcomed me into the world and was devoted to embracing my spirit as in doing so he was embracing his own and of course his son's.
He was a man of many charactuers and roles - holding energy for the good of the family - teaching us all the power of silence and through that strong silence he exuded acceptance ~ acceptance of all man kind. In many ways he was well beyond his time - a deep wisdom and passion for all man kind.
His love for candy is something that stills plays a part in my current experience of life.....those times when I tap into the little me, I will make a special trip to the candy store and indulge in candies of past - it is in those times I feel him near.
Sen sen's catalyze powerful loving memories of my grandfather- my teacher - my peace.
I am thankful to have had the opportunity to have experienced him at a most important time in my life...and will be forever gracious for sharing space and love with him.
To my dear aunt Edie, my sweetest cousins Al,Chris and Kelly....I wish all much grace with yourselves as you move through this time of deep reflection.......I hold you all close in my heart and still draw on our connection in my present experience.
Much Love Peace & Respect~

You may not have been my grandfather by blood but you were my grandfather too. You were always such a happy cheerful person with such a big heart. You will be missed beyond belief, always loved and never forgotten.
I love you,
Christina
