Grandpa's Home

Today we buried grandpa at the foot of his parents' resting place. It was a great thing. Lots of the local New Albany family came out. Grandpa's brother Bobby and his wife and their son and a bunch of others showed up to share stories about Grandpa Jigs and it was just a wonderful day. I know Grandpa would have been so happy to know we did this for him. He's home now. It's been an emotional day and I can't get over the warmth and compassion from all of the people out here. It couldn't have been more perfect. After the services we went back to Bobby's and ate tons of food and shared more stories with the family and looked at old photographs of Great Grandma and Grandpa. My brother looks just like Great Grandpa Vernon in one of the photos. It was uncanny. We cruised through down town New Albany as well. That town looks like it hasn't been touched in 100 years. I can't wait to get photos up.
