Oh I'm so glad you have joined Our Echo's family. Your story makes your Grandpa come alive to us all. Sure would like to see some pictures of his art. Gail from Kansas

Thank you for reading my story, my grandfather has been gone a very long time now, but his memory tugs at my heart all the time. I will try to get pictures up there asap, as soon as I can figure out how to take pictures with that camera!

I second Gail's motion regarding the pictures. Your grandfather sounds like a marvelous man.

thank you. He instilled in me an artistic quality and I'd love to keep it going and pass it down to my children.

Felt very moved by your story while I enjoyed your descriptive writing. My dad's head too had your grandpa's kind of baldness and the top part often reminded me of a hot cross bun without the cross ! What is wonderful is that you have preserved his creative work and the beautiful memories of who he truly was. It's probably why you were chosen for that last peek. He knew you were an elf too !
