September 28, 1917 - January 7, 2008
Recently, my family lost my Dad's dad, Gordon Lee Smith. He went home to be with the Lord after 90 years. Granddaddy and Grandmama just celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary 2 days earlier. Granddaddy had a fascinating life... a pitcher for Ole Miss, lawyer, FBI agent, and State Senator. When he retired, he spent time playing golf, bridge, and growing tomatoes. These are the things I remember most about him. He was passionate about the things he enjoyed and had a great sense of humor. Granddaddy could remember everything. I loved sitting with him for hours listening to stories from growing up or from his days of traveling and moving around when he worked for the FBI. He was a great man and will be missed immensely.

So sweet. This also led me to Tyler's blog. Ok, I admit it. He is a cute little kid. I think this ministered to me, especially as it prepared me for my upcoming new title as auntie em.
p.s. I "claim" the flu although not diagnosed as that, it was the worst I've felt in my entire life. Hope you feel well soon. see you soon.
