Mahalo and there were many others as well.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
Thom, I love this. You have a poet in your soul who emerges when something or someone is truly important to you. That’s so much better than people who think they’re poets and write drivel about every idea that blows past their eyes.
Well done – your grandfather would be proud of you.
Well thanks for the wonderful comment. I hope he is
I guess like you say it has to be something important or someone. I truly thank you for this comment and your friendship. 
this was precious, words that come from the depths of sweet and sorrow. i love that you are continuing to carry him and his legacy with you in every step you take! a warm and lovely 55 today!
Mahalo my friend. They are huge shoes to fill I tell you.
Thom…
This was your best 55 to date!
I was raised by my Grandparents, and my Gramps taught me the very same values.
I loved the pic…
Thanks for sharing, thanks for playing, thanks for visiting, thanks for all of your support, and have a Kick Ass Week-End.

Thanks my friend. I think we all get taught these values. Glad you liked the puncture.

How good it is to have had such a wonderful grandfather. This is a great tribute Thom…
Thanks. He was a wonderful man.
Your He was a wonderful man who taught you many wonderful things… and I LOVE that! He certainly set an example that has helped to make you the man you are today – and for that I THANK him! I also thank MY He for giving you your life… and your heart!
And may my He bless your He real good!
My darlin’ thank you and I’m grateful to you for your My He.
I am truly grateful for this comment.
This is just terrific. I love it!
Thanks! Glad you liked.
what a wonderful grandfather he was to all of us!!! i miss him so and waved to him this morning. GF I love you and miss you more than words can say sweet man. L
Indeed sister he was. xoxoxo
Thom, how sweet that is!!! i love it and it makes me get tears in my eyes. i loved my Dad/your GF so very much and he was the dearest of men. in my whole life he was never mean to me – i cant believe its been 9 years and i miss him as much today as i did the first day he was gone. Thank you for always remembering. Love and Kisses, MA xoxoxoxoxoxxo
Ma we were all very lucky to have him in our lives. It is hard to believe 9 years. What a man he was.
xoxoxo
This is such a wonderful tribute to a great man. You are very fortunate to have had him in your life and to have the memories. I think it’s safe to say that a part of him lives on in you.
Thank you my friend. I’m glad you enjoyed this. Yes I do think some part of him lives on with me.
sweet and touching. your family does inspire you
Indeed they do. Glad you liked.
Thom, you were blessed by your grandfather, and you know it. Not everyone is allowed the opportunity. I was granted the gift, and I feel as fortunate as you.
Indeed my friend. I’m very grateful he was around for such a long part of my life.
This is a beautiful tribute, Thom.
Mahalo my friend.
I’m sorry you lost him, but he taught you well.
I think he’d be proud to see the man you are today.
Have a good weekend!
Mahalo my friend. I can only hope so
Awesome tribute!
I lived with my great grandfather until he passed when I was 12. I still miss him.
Thank you. Yeah it never goes away
I love the fact that you love so expansively and don’t mind sharing it. That speaks volumes of the people that raised you — your grandparents and your mother — and helps me to love them, too.
Thanks Q. I can’t imagine anyone not sharing.
A story in 55 words ! that sounds like stenographie and makes me think about work !
You were very cute as a baby and I too had such a wonderful grandpa !
LOL. too funny. Thanks glad you thought I was cute. I was a handful I’m sure.
Lovely tribute 55 to you grandfather Thom. I’m sure he’s watching over you. x
Thank you my friend. I hope so
Wonderful tribute to your grandfather!
Many Mahalos my friend
Touching tribute! Memories are something we will always possess!! And you can cherish these words forever, Nicely recalled!
Thank you my friend. So true what you said
