Back at it after a little break

Back at it after a little break ! I have been very busy with a death of my wifes Grandfather and another Grandfather in a old folks home with dental problems and other problems so we have been off to see doctors all over town for one thing or another ! I have been very happy spending time with him . He is a wonderful old guy with a loving heart ! He spent over 30 years in the Army ! He was in World warII and the Korean war plus he did two tours of duty in Vietnam ! He retired from the Army in 1973 with the higest rank for an enlisted man as a Sargent major ! After retireing he was a Buick mechanic for 20 years ! He has some good stories to tell ! He has good long term memory but dosnt have to good of short term memory at all ! He sometimes thinks he is in the war somewhere and asks for a body count at the old folks home !! He won a silver star and a bronze star for bravery but we dont know what war they were from !! He remains a kind gental man even after all he has been through !! You never know what someone has been through or has done in their lifes . Im proud to know him ! I always kid him since I was in the US Marine Corp that now a Marine has to take care of him and he laughs !! He brings happiness to my day for sure !!
