Current mood:  sad
My Grandfather finally lost his tough battle with pulmonary muscle disease this Saturday morning. I have to say he was the toughest guy I've ever met he lived through WW2 where he was shot in the stomach and survived. Then he lasted a week and a half with no food or water due to his disease.I have allot of lasting memories that will never be forgotten. I'll miss "Joe" as I called him he hated it at first but grew adapted to it. He taught me how to be tough as well as everything a true man needs to know he was more like my dad because of all the things he did for me and the trips we went on. Joe you'll be missed greatly but I know you are in a better place I was very lucky to know you for as log as I have thank you.
