One year ago today, my hero was granted his angel wings on the eve of his 85th birthday. I sure do miss this guy. If there was ANYONE who followed Christ, gave his ENTIRE life to Him, it was my Grandfather. There is not a day in my entire life I do not remember him going to mass. It didn't matter where he was, what he was doing, or how hectic his life with six children was. He went to mass EVERY day. He also prayed the rosary every day. I have no doubt in my mind that he is sitting at the right hand of our Father now.

CPL Albert L Schachtner, US Army, served in the Korean War. He was buried with full honors and a 21 gun salute. It was one of the most emotional days of my life.
I sure do miss him. He was a true man of God, loving husband for 55 years, amazing father to six children, outstanding grandfather to 13 grandchildren and devoted great grandfather to 9.
Tomorrow will be his 86th birthday. I sure do love and miss this man.
What an honor to have had such a loving, devoted grandfather. I am sure your life is so much more enriched for having him in it. Sending you a hug, I know how it feels to miss someone so much!!
ReplyDeleteDear Kiera,
ReplyDeleteAfter you finish cooking dinner, playing with Liam, giving him a bath, paying attention to your husband, doing chores, and catching up on homework will you update your blog :) Like I have room to talk... but you know it is nice to have some new reading material.
