Turning 90

My Grandpa turned 90 today.  There was a big celebration for him out at Litomysl church.  It was pretty fitting that it was there since many significant and day to day events from my grandpa’s life took place at this church.  The day started off with celebrating mass together.  He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.  Then we all headed downstairs to celebrate.  It was an open house, so family and friends were invited.  He sat on his chair for quite awhile as people walked through to wish him a Happy Birthday.  I am a little biased, but he is seriously the cutest 90 year old I know.  His smile lights up his face and just makes you giggle.  He is as sharp as a wit and loves to play cards.  He still gets his naps in here and there, but sure loves to talk and share stories about anything.  He also loves to tell you jokes.  Thanks to the big help of my uncle Steve, Grandpa tries to make it to as many family events as he can – birthday parties, celebrations, etc…. He has had quite a life with his beautiful bride and 11 children, his grandchildren and great grandchildren – there are way too many to count.  I know he is anxiously waiting to join his wife, Grandma, up in heaven some day, but also loves being around family.  It sure would be awesome to have him around for awhile.  Let’s go for 100 Grandpa!!!
