That is so nice that you were able to spend time with your great grandfather. Priceless memories !
We would always go to my Great Grandparents house at Christmas. My Grandpa Webster was a child at heart about Christmas and theirs was the first tree I ever saw the electric bubble lights on. I was always so mesmerized by them.
We did get to visit with them now and then, but I never really spent any one-on-one time with either of them. Who knew they would pass before I ever got to know more about the real people that they were? My Grandmother did put on a huge meal one time and invited my older sister and me and our very young husbands to her house. It was so much fun to be just the five of us. She had the best linens on the table and put out the fine china and crystal as if we were royalty. That is the only time we were able to do that before time ran out.
I hope you do get to have a nice night-time visit. Maybe he will come since he knows that would make you happy.
Thank you for stopping over !
