Grandpa Ralph says so many interesting things, I thought I would record them here. It will take some time to gather all the little bits of paper that I've written them down on, plus the texts from Vince in my phone, so they won't be in any order.
I did the same writing down of funny things when my boys were little - only no texts back then - and they are our most precious treasure, along with their photos.
Grandpa Ralph moved in with us in May 2006, shortly after Mom died. When he moved in, Vince carried the 'Dad' title, and three members of the household used it (my three sons), so Dad instantly became Grandpa, so that the boys would not be confused about whom I was talking when I used the word 'Dad'.
I've never been able to call my parents by their first names, and especially can't use the nickname by which my Dad introduces himself! "Hi, I'm Dick". nope, can't do that!
