Grandday

One piece of paper can not ever explain how he shaped our lives our future. A mighty man that taught by example, whose greatest testimony was his life. He leaves behind all of us that know life is not forever, but wished he could be. I've absolutely dreaded this day for as long as I can remember. Amazingly I have not one single bad memory, no harsh words, no witness of his temper lost. I am blessed. I am surrounded with my sorrow.

Albert C. Breitkreutz. Tall and strong. Kind beyond words. Big hands that swallowed yours and made you feel safe. Beautifully stunning green eyes with a mischievous twinkle. Integrity. A sharp mind that never faded. Larger break and gas peddles for those big, steady feet. White V-neck tee shirts and Ammens powder. Shirts always neatly tucked in. Faithful. Buzz cut and cleaned shaved. Soft butter on everything and steaming coffee cups overflowing. Crusty French bread sandwiches. Sweet blackberry wine and tiny cans of beer. The owner of the ever unsatisfied sweet tooth. Special treats always waiting for us. Hands carefully peeling apples. The quiet hero. Fixer of everything and lover of the earth. Homegrown veggies. Hydrangeas. Wrapped trunks of pecan trees in attempts to deter the squirrels. Heavily laden pear branches. Neatly cut grass. A place for everything and everything in it’s place. Crabbing by the sea wall. Disney World. Road trips. Originator of my first movie experience...E.T. then Star Wars. Patient teacher. Eager listener. Everyone’s number one fan. NEVER disappointing. Always there. Beloved husband, father, grandfather. Proud American. Creator of fantastic memories that will never be forgotten. THE quintessential example of unconditional love.

I can still hear his “Hey, Hey!”…I can still smell his sweet smell. I can still see him sitting at the kitchen table, hands gently folded, eagerly awaiting the coming conversation. A conversation that flowed easily until at last his green eyes blinked heavily longing for a catnap.

No longer here but forever in our thoughts and memories. I miss him so very much and can’t begin to imagine this life that is now without him. He made me feel so very loved and I was as proud of him as he was of me. The world is void of a beautiful soul, but heaven is rejoicing. “Welcome my good and faithful servant.” Your journey has just begun.

His generation built a great nation,
His hands built a living
His love; a great family,
Albert Charles Breitkreutz
I love your memories
His patience built my confidence
His words; my self esteem,
"Grand-da" was a builder,
of so many things unseen.
His generation now is fading;
over one thousand every day.
If we forget what they have taught,
no one will ever pray.
The great depression molded them, a people strong a sure,
they faught the war to end all wars, benefiting only others
by sacrifice and pain endured.
Let us not forget Albert
and all those of his age,
let not their qualities die with them,
as now I am afraid.
As they disapear from our sight,
let our hearts remember them,
as the gifts we were given,
are not listable with pen.
