Halloween is here...This will be the first Halloween without Brandon's dad. Most people would think this isn't a big deal it is only halloween, not for me. Over the last few years halloween has been a big deal with grandpa Gary! Even though some years he was very sick or had next to no money he still INSISTED I brought the kids by so he could see them in their costumes. He always found a way to get to the store and make a special little treat bag for each of them. He loved my boys so much, and I will always appreciate the love and acceptance he showed the older boys when they came to live with us! The joy on his face when the kids walked in was precious :)
As I was thinking about Halloween I started to think about the other hollidays coming up. Lots of memories of past hollidays with Gary came flooding back! I will never forget one Christmas before we had kids and Gary went Christmas shopping for Brandon and I at the bar while he was working! LOL Each of our little bags consisted of a pack of smokes, doritos, a candy bar, lotto ticket, and a small bottle of liqour!! We laughed and laughed that Christmas, but over the years he taught me something very important. No matter how busy we are or how little we have, We always have SOMETHING we can do or give to others. He was such a great guy and I really miss him.
