Grandpa Kingfords Strength.

Well Grandpa Kingsford is a very sick guy, once again! I don't mean that in a bad way. He has been on his death bed several times in just the last few years and he is a fighter, he always pulls through.. He turned 80 years old on June 5th. He has such a big heart and tries to hide it under his gruff voice, but he can't fool me. I am so grateful for those talks that we have been able to have one on one. I truly cherish that time. All my grandparents are great examples and have taught me more than they know. They inspire me, and make me want to do my best. One of the things my grandpa has always done is plant a garden. (It is the best looking one in town,for sure!) Despite him being short of breath, conquering colon cancer, and having a hard time getting around, he manages to plant and take care of his garden. I can't leave out the best part, which is when he calls and says to stop by and get some vegetables. He always has a great sense of humor whether life is grand or the pits.. It is so hard for me to watch our grandparents getting older, but I know that's life and the plan. So I pray for my grandpa to stay strong and endure this rough time.. I know he receives strength from above and if anyone one can conquer this it is him... We love you, Grandpa King.
