This little Piggy

For the past 7 years or so my Grandpa has been collecting pigs. Stuffed pigs, salt/pepper shaker pigs, piggy banks, pig statues, pig pillows, etc. Any thing to do with pigs he would collect it. Now that he has passed on my grandma is giving each grandchild and his children a pick of one of his pigs so that we can have a "piece" of him...
This is the little piggy that I chose....small and simple. I am sure before I wouldn't of boughten a pig to display in my home but this one I proudly will!

I still miss my grandpa dearly and wish he could still be here. I can't believe its already been 5 months! I know he was "older" and his time was coming up but I still think he was too young considering how healthy he was. I am not(actually, I think most of the family) looking forward to Thanksgiving or Christmas because he won't be there. I mean we are excited to spend time together but its going to be hard not having him there. These 2 holidays he cherished the most because that is when the whole family would get together and we would have the best time! Family was the most important thing to him and he LOVED it when we were all together!

I went and visited my Grandma today with my parents and it was a great time just sitting there laughing and talking with her. I love her and she is the cutest thing ever! And she is doing great and I think that helps all of us knowing that she is going good! It's still weird going there because you are expecting him to come out of his room or see him in his office studying away. His pictures are everywhere and seeing them bring back such good memories of him and I can't help but get teary eyed when I see them. But I know someday I will see him again and I can't wait!
