Illustration Friday: Quiet
My grandpa is a strong and quiet man. He was in the army and was the mayor of Cochrane just like was his father before him. He likes timing the sunset. And for all I know the sunrise...I've never gotten up earlier then him. He likes his music easy and quiet. Lol. He plays the trumpet and piano and trombone and sax... In fact, I'm pretty sure he's probably tried everything. He likes maps and reading them. He likes building things and fixing things. He owned an appliance store so he's a wiz with electrics. He likes being at our cottage which was built by our family and is on a small quiet lake that loons call from.
But the older I've gotten and the more I've listened I realized he's also a very funny man who likes telling his stories if he knows someone is interested in hearing. I've also learned that he loves his family more then anything else in the world. And lately I've learned just how strong he can be to be facing cancer and still be the calm, quiet, funny man that he is.

That is such a great piece!!! I think you should make us all copies but especially email it to Grandpa. Are you giving it to him for Christmas? He'd be really touched. =)
