That special somebody

Now that Easter is just about here, I've been doing some heavy thinking about those in my family that are no longer with us.

My grandpa was very strong physically and mentally.  I admired him growing up.  He was in the army and served in war.  Problem is he became hard of hearing from all the noise and would never admit it.  He had to much pride and ego.  He always used to take me in during the times my parents wanted some time to themselves.  He lived in Brooklyn and would always allow me to walk around. I used to hang out at the food stores and play pac-man.  He loved his wife so much but she died in the 70's.  Nothing ever got to him, he had a wall of steel.  I still to this day strive to be strong like that.  He died in 93 from a heart attack but in my mind he will never be forgotten.

Another special person to me is Jesus.  He died on the cross for our sins.  Even though that was ages ago, it will never be forgotten about me.  Watching Jesus of Nazareth helped show me the kindness that he had in his heart, never got angry and always willing to make people better.  God's gift to us should not be taken lightly at all.

So im asking everybody this Easter weekend to think about somebody in your past that you miss very much that was a big influence in your life.  It can be a family member or even a friend.  Just know that even though they are not here anymore, they are in a better place, the place we all want to get to: heaven.

You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel knowing you had a great relationship with them.  Take there good qualities and in there honor, incorporate them in your life so you become a better person.

God bless everbody and let this Easter be the most special yet.
