Grandpa Willy

Your grandfather always did what he thought was right. He worked to keep us comfortable and always seemed to want the best for me and your uncle Hap. But if there's one thing I learned from him, it's not to let pride get in the way of everything else. Don't ever be too proud to pick up a mop. Don't ever be too proud to tell the truth. When you're hurt, find someone you can talk to. Your grandma has always been a real pal to me, always understood when I was mad...I wish I had been a better pal to her. That's why I always tell you to treat your momma right. So you can talk to her if I ever make you mad. Please tell me if I ever make you mad. Families have their rough moments, but I don’t want you to ever be scared of me, or of talking to me. I could never talk to my dad, I’d always try so hard to do everything he ever talked about wanting me to do or have. It just never seemed enough. I want you to know that I am proud of you no matter what you do, as long as you’re happy. Life is too short to not spend it happy and with the people you love, like your family.
