My Grandpa was such an amazing man. This is a picture of him entering the Army in 1939, where he became a sergeant major at Fort Benning by the time he was 19. That cocked half-smile is so a picture of his ornery, punky, but yet oh-so-charming personality. He died this past Saturday with my grandpa and two uncles there. I was very close to him and he had such a positive impact on my life, so this whole experience has been so bizarre. However, I am so grateful he's not in pain any longer, but I miss him so very much. For the meantime, I'm here in Indiana celebrating his life with my family.
this song keeps coming to mind...but do something else while listening because the album cover is cool, but not five minutes cool...and it talks about Georgia and ironically the base where my grandpa was stationed forever is in Georgia.
