This past weekend has been very, very tragic, to say the least. My grandfather (Glen’s father)underwent surgery for melanoma cancer. After the surgery, his wife Peg, and him were sitting in the hospital talking, and Peg left the room to get some ice cream. When she returned, Grandpa Bill was in a coma, as he had just had a massive, massive stroke.
Tragic events like this always remind me what really counts in life, and how precious and fragile ourselves and our peace are. In Grandpa Bill, we definitely have such an awesome and wonderful father, husband, and grandfather in every way.
Grandpa Bill has always been an avid golfer. Despite his recent history with melanoma cancer and the many surgeries he has endured, Grandpa Bill has always found a way to make his almost daily round through the golf course, driving the ball down the fairway, chipping the ball onto the green, and sinking that ball all the way through to the eighteenth hole.
Grandpa Bill has very much been a role model for me. A person that could fix anything, no matter how broken. A person with such hard work ethic, love, and kindness. And of course, even at the ripe age of seventy six years-young, a masterful golfer.
Grandpa Bill, I am pulling for you. I love you always.

Grandpa Bill is in my thoughts as well. No matter what he's going through now, his life has been made a million times better with family like you by his side.
