Grampa

William "Bill" Manning
He was my Grampa, my Hero
Larger than LIFE
He could say more with a shake of his fist...
to me, Grampa sign language for "I love you"

Two years ago today I was holding his hand, kneeling at his side as he took his last breath from his hospital bed and his soul ascended to a place far better than we can imagine.
Grampa, since that day,
the lemonade is not so sweet,
the grass is not so green...
but I have hope and faith like never before
and I know I will see you again.
