Grandpa

  Your beard always smell like tobacco or beer, and whenever you would visit you brought me a gift no matter the time of the year, and hugs from you was like hugging a big hairy teddy bear,
   You always try to make me laugh even if I wanted to cry, and you sometimes would burst out with laughter and I could never understand why,
   You always liked the simple ways of life, one with very little worry and stiff,  and you seemed to have a strange and sometimes different outlook on life,
   You were never perfect over the years but you always    tried your best, and I always liked that about you
  I am happy to have you as part of my family,  and over the years to me my life with you grandpa was nothing but the best,
