Today is a really hard day for me to blog about. For those long time readers you guys know that two years ago I lost my grandfather. Here are a few things you should know about my grandfather.
1 My grandfather loved old cars. He kept an assortment of old cars. To this day there are still old cars at my grandparents home. He loved to fix them up. He gave my brother one of his cars for his 16th birthday.
