Grandpa

Today is my Grandpa Bradshaw's
birthday. He passed away about a year and a half
ago leaving behind one heck of a beautiful and amazing
woman. My grandpa was the best of the best and was
loved by all who knew him.


I think I can speak for all of my cousins when I say
Here's to:

4 Wheeler Rides, Banana Creamies,
Cussin, Teasing, The Feed Lot, Softball,
Sunday afternoon rides to Jack in the Box,
The Bowling Alley, dancing in his underwear,
swearing at the pulpit, and Always, ALWAYS
making us laugh.

He always had a twinkle in his eye. He was one of
the Good Ol' Boys. A hard working farmer who
helped a lot of people in his life.


I feel very blessed to have lived so close to him. I miss him
driving out to the middle of the field to visit me when I was
in the tractor. I miss him coming in the barn while I was
milking cows and calling me the milk maid. I miss meeting
people around Rupert or at school and them asking me if Lynn
is my Grandpa. I'm so grateful for the knowledge of the Eternal
Plan of Salvation and the Sealing power in the Temple.
It is wonderful knowing that he is my grandpa forever and
that I will see him again someday.

Hope you are having a great birthday up there Grandpa!
We miss you.
