[1963c-10]

I spent alot of time with my grandfather. I am a state certified Paramedic, so I have the most medical experience in my family. My Grandfather had congestive heart failure, beat prostate cancer at 84, and had a pace maker installed. I didn't hesitate when the day came that he either needed to go to a home for healt care reasons or have a nurse come to the house. My Grandfather moved in with me. I took care of him til the day he passed. I would not put him in a home as long as I could provide for him medically, which isn't easy...especially since I was 27 at the time. Life and my truck went on the back burner. In 2011, I spent some time on the truck and included my Grandfather who was an ADJC, which is advanced jet mechanic is civilian terms. He was thrilled that even at 84-85 to be able to turn wrenches, and alot of the two man jobs I couldn't have done without him. I wish he was still here to watch and help with the progression of the truck. But I know hes smiling as he watches down on me, and I cant help but feel that sometimes hes sitting next to me when I take my solo trips to the country for a cruise.
