Dear Grandpa Harold,
I love you very much. I will miss
your stories and your humble smile. The way you walked
down the street and the way you laughed. I expected you to live to a hundred years old,
like
George Burns, but it was cut short. Even though your'e gone I will never forget the smell
of your
Ford station wagon. The smell of cigar ash and old rubber bands. The endless paper clips
and
stacks of every magazine imaginable. I can still see you sitting at your round table, back
hunched involving yourself in hours of Sweepstakes mail under the glaring table lamp. I
miss your hotdog and mustard dinners, your vienna sausages and your fruit cocktails. I
remember going with you to Mc Donalds and ordering cheeseburgers and fries with extra
salt. You where a simple humble loving person... and thats why I love you so much. And I
know that you are more happier then you ever where before. We will always miss and love
you always.
Love, Your Grandson, Hassan
~In Dedication to my Grandpa Harold~
