Remembering Grandpa Harrison

On September 25, my Grandpa Harrison passed away. My mom lived with the Harrison family for a year when she was 18 and they took her in as one of their children. They have been a second family for my mom and have always treated her and our family as part of theirs. My grandpa was a very kind and thoughtful man. He was a hard worker and was extremely giving. I remember going over to their home and always feeling so welcome. Grandpa would ask us questions about what we were up to in life and I always felt like I was worth so much just sitting in the living room talking with grandma and grandpa. They have been there for my mom in ways that no one else has been able to and I feel so grateful to their family for their love, support and encouragement. I know my grandpa was tired and he had been struggling with his health for awhile, I am grateful he doesn't have to suffer anymore, but I know he is missed down here on earth. I am so grateful I grew up knowing him and I am so grateful for all that he has done for me. I am so grateful for his kindness and love for me. This picture was taken at the beginning of July.
