My Grandpa Allen passed away on November 5. I am left missing him, but I think the sign that he really was a great man is that I am left inspired to let his life be an example and to work to be more like him.
What an inspiring person my grandpa is. He never said anything unkind about anyone. Really. He believed the best about everybody.
Regardless of how difficult circumstances were, he always saw the best of the situation. Always. He was optimistic, faithful and enthusiastic. And his enthusiasm was contagious. He was especially enthusiastic about the gospel, the scriptures or his family.
He focused on all the good in his life. He was grateful for everything. He never felt like things were unfair to him. He just chose to celebrate all the beautiful things in his life and because of that, his life was beautiful.
I am so grateful that I took a little drive to Idaho this summer so my kids and I could see him one last time.
