Grandpa Dunn - miss him

I appreciate the comments made about Grandpa by you guys. I miss him as well. Whats sad is that it has been long enough that we are used to him not being around now. I have a pictue of me and Philip on our fridge. I must have been in Jr. High based on the shorts I was wearing. Anyway, I spent a lot of hours in that shop making things and varnishing them. We always varnished everything I made, with several coats. I got from Amy and Ken the rolling bench that was in the garage. I use it everyday for work.

So I have loved learning more about Grandpa and his life, such as his military experiences and his willingness to serve. Then about his firefighting, and again his willingness to serve. I know that so many people looked up to Grandpa as someone always willing to help out and serve in everyday life. I hope I can be more like him in this way.

Now, to the reality of Grandpa. He wasn't perfect. He smoked, and drank too much. He had his problems. What I learn from this is that we are not perfect, and yet we try our best. He did much more than many in some areas, but fell short in others. I do the same! I think Grandpa would say to all of us to try harder, do better, do your best. Like me hoping that my kids learn from my idiocy at BYU, I hope they do better in college. I think Grandpa would say learn from him in the mistakes he made, and do better in life.

So, the other thing he used to say was "It's Ok to show emotions as a man".

I'm glad he is our Grandpa, and I'm grateful for the time we did have with him here on earth. I look forward to the time we meat again.

Love you Grandpa, miss you....I think we should fly our flags in honor of him!
