Today would have been Opa's birthday. This is my favorite picture of us. He hasn't been gone a year yet. I really miss him. I miss his wisdom, his laughter and his smile. But most of all, I miss how we'd end every moment we shared with each other with the following saying, "You know what Beekie? I sure do love you." And he'd say it with the biggest smile. I'd always tell him that I loved him, too. He *always* said it. And I *felt* it. No doubt about it. I never doubted where I stood with him. I love people like that. You know where you are with them. No guessing. And I know he knew I loved him. I hate that he's gone now and I can't share one more moment like that with him. But my comfort comes in knowing that he was a man of God and he is rejoicing with the angels and is in the presence of our Saviour right now. I will get to spend eternity with him. So if he can wait a little while, we'll rejoice together.
You know what Opie? I sure do love you!

I hope when J & C are your age they can remember me with as much love as what you had for Opa & George.
I will never forget watching him stress out George and then laughing behind her back. You are right though.....you always felt unconditional love with Opa
