A year later

My grandpa, Albert Carlon Nichols, died a year ago today.  (link)  I was thinking this morning about things I am thankful for.  Having him as a part of my life for so long, was such a blessing.  And I feel so lucky that my son was able to meet his great-grandfather.  Grandpa was such a giving, caring, strong, wonderful person, and so full of life.  He was always ready with a joke and a smile.  So today I am both happy and sad.
