My Grandfather would turn 116 tomorrow. No he was not like what we know a grandfather to be today, but he did love us and while children should be seen and not heard and only seen when he wanted someone to play checkers or chess with. Oh yes, please could you make me some Tea, He faced much in his life and i am sure that he suffered from headaches all the time. Maybe it was just due to his wife, who had no time for Our mom or any of us girls. Men where much more for her. here is what the internet has to say about Grandpa.
