Grandpa Blackburn

I have so many wonderful memories of my Grandpa Blackburn.

He was such an amazing man.  I think of all the wonderful things he accomplished in his 83 years of life, and I'm amazed.  When my mom called this morning to tell me that he had a massive heart attack and did not make it, the tears came hard and fast!

I know that he is with my wonderful Grandma who passed away just four months ago.  I keep thinking of the sweet reunion they must be having and my tears are accompanied with a small smile.

It seems very surreal that I wont see him this spring when I go visit family.  I always enjoyed talking with him and getting a huge hug from his strong arms.  I look forward to celebrating his life with my family!
