My grandfather may have had a hard life, but it was a fulfilling one. He worked hard and never expected (or even wanted) a reward. He was a devout man of god, and was always working at the Church. Cooking dinners, working on sets for the dramas, providing counseling. He did all he could, being happy with the fact that he helped someone else rather than wanted something in return. Every Christmas he would dress up as Santa Claus for the children of the Church, or anywhere else a Santa was needed. My fondest picture I have of him is one of him in this Santa outfit in my grandparents living room.
He was an unusually strong man both in body and soul. He survived a heart attack, two strokes and more recent renal failure. He would not let those things stop him, and he recovered from all of them. His heart was bigger than anyone else I know, and for this I can call him my hero. I never knew the extent that my grandfather gave until I heard the stories from others at his funeral. I knew how good he was to me, but hearing the stories of his generosity to others both broke and warmed my heart.
He was born 28 April, 1941 and died 9 June 2009. But he died doing what he loved most, delivering food to widows. It is only sad that in doing this he made my grandmother a widow as well, but they had nearly 50 long, beautiful years together. I know he is where he belongs now, and he is no longer in pain.
