Today is my grandpa Jack's birthday. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of him and the influence he has had on my life. Today I had the opportunity to go to General Conference, and on the way up there Joanna and I reminisced about Grandpa. My grandpa Jack is the kind of man that left an impression on everyone he met. It still amazes me how many random people I meet in my life that knew him and remember him. I miss him everyday but it is so comforting to know that we are an eternal family and I will see him again.
I am so grateful for the lessons he taught me about family, church and the importance of being faithful. Many remember my grandpa as a rough and tough kind of guy, but I was lucky enough to see a different side of him, he was loving to me and I am forever grateful for that memory. I cannot think of a better way to remember grandpa today than to go to conference. I am so grateful for his testimony of the gospel and the effect it has had on me throughout my life. Happy Birthday grandpa. Love you!
