A Rich Man

The richness of a man is not truly determined by his financial wealth but by the friends and family he has and the lives he has touched.

The kind of Man Grandpa John is..... My first introduction into the family was at a small BBQ gathering. In this family a small BBQ is 30 people give or take a few. After meeting everyone, I spent a bit of time talking with John, clearly the patriarch of the family and protector of his oldest Granddaughter, Tiffany. We talked sports, cars etc., guy stuff. After only a short time of being around, John welcomed me to the family. He could have made it difficult for me, but he didnt. He accepted me with open arms and as one of his own. And even more, he welcomed my entire family to be part of his. My role was clear, take care of his granddaughter with the love, honor, and grace that he gave me. I am proud and lucky to call him my Grandpa too.
