EULOGY FOR A GRANDFATHER
© Copyright 2007 by EulogySpeeches.net. All rights reserved.
Henry James once said, Sorrow comes in great waves…but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us it leaves us on the spot and we know that if it is strong we are stronger inasmuch as it passes and we remain.
My grandpa never liked to be the center of attention. If he were with us now, he would want us to take the focus off him and put it on us. He would not want us to focus on the sadness of his death, but instead look at the happiness we still have in our lives. He would want us to look at each other and appreciate what we have together and what we hope to make better.
I have much consolation in the good feelings my memories give me. I remember when I was a little girl, having sleepovers at grandma and grandpa’s house. We used to make forts and haunted houses in the basement, and then have them go through it. Grandpa used to scare us, because often times we would go through it ourselves. In the mornings there would always be a huge breakfast waiting for my brothers and sisters and me. Pancakes, waffles, muffins, bacon, sausage, orange juice, milk, and even pie. I used to nap for hours after I ate there.
I remember every holiday season, grandpa used to dress up as Santa, and even the Easter Bunny. I didn’t realize it was him until I was about 12. I got so excited when he would come through that kitchen door, with a bag full of goodies. We would all sit on his lap and he would pass out toys or candy one by one. It was so much fun.
Grandpa was always playing with us. He was great at doing voices. He was fun to play fantasy with. He played board games with us, and he would always want to give us money. We would have races in the backyard for dollars. The mini Olympics he used to call them. We would have running contests, and kicking contests, relays and swimming events. He would just laugh and laugh, handing out dollar bills one after the other. We all loved it.
Grandpa always said that his grandchildren kept him young at heart. That made us feel good inside. I can see that my father got his fun loving spirit from grandpa. He was a great teacher to have, not only for my dad and us, but also for everybody. He was selfless and kind. He loved being a parent and grandparent. It was his calling in life.
Grandpa, I will miss your bear hugs, and roaring laugh. You were a wonderful role model in my life, and a great friend. When I am up beside you, be sure to remind me that I owe you quite a few dollar bills. I hope you accept that as gratuity for all the wonderful memories that you gave me.
