• Remembering a Wonderful Man

  Brian Tod on November 18th, 2010

  “I want to tell you a story about a man and a boy. It begins plain
  
  enough, boy is born and lives a simple life with his mother and
  
  father. Mother and father in love, somehow fall out of love. Like many
  
  modern day stories who suffers? The young, the boy. Not for long,
  
  actually not at all. Why? Someone has always been there for the boy.
  
  The man. The man picks the boy up when he falls and kisses his
  
  superficial or non-existent cut and hugs him until everything is
  
  better. The man helps the boy grow up. Teaches him right and wrong.
  
  Sometime with words, sometimes with actions. The words and actions are
  
  not always perfect but no man is perfect. to the boy that doesn't
  
  matter. All that matters is the love that the man shows the boy. Loves
  
  that comes in fishing trips, hunting and simple walks. Slowly the boy
  
  becomes a man and the man grows old. The man passes. Don't be sad
  
  though the man shall live for eternity. Everything the man has shared
  
  and taught the boy will be passed on. How do I know, because I am the
  
  boy and the man is my Grandpa. Robert Joseph Gallant. Everything my
  
  Grandpa has passed to me, the love, the caring. I will pass to my
  
  children. Grandpa I just want to thank you for making me the man, the
  
  husband and the father I have become. I will never forget you.”
