| He'll still do anything to make me laugh! |
Birthday #2, Charles Patrick Lund, or Grumpa as I like to call the old man. he might be my dad's stepdad, but to me, he's just Grandpa. The man who always tries to pinch your Micky, has a ridiculously bad joke on his tongue, always has a dog in the car for his morning 7-11 coffee run, will give you advice whether or not you're ready to hear it (and is right MOST of the time), would give you the shirt off his back, and expects you to respect his house and his wife, even while encouraging you to run around like a banshee. Grandpa, my 35 (almost 36) years are filled with memories of you and grandma making us feel so loved. Summers at the lake, learning to golf, teaching me to swim, special breakfasts for the two of us (Henley's is still my favorite), drives to the store where you would always buy me an ice cream cone and we'd stop to watch the cake decorating, Christmas and Easter Egg hunts at the Overbluff house, you coming to watch us play sports, and finding a way to help me go to SG. My life is full of you because you loved us enough to want us around. Thanks for being a great grandpa to us Longinottis. I've never known a moment of my life where I wasn't grounded in how much you love me. Happy birthday! Hope there's A LOT more to come. :)
