A Very Good Man

I'm interrupting Misfit Monday for a sad reason tonight.

Buttin's great-uncle Leon (who was like another grandfather - one of the wonderful benefits to living in a small town) died today.  His health had been deteriorating, but the news was still difficult.  Buttin will be going up to the panhandle for the funeral later this week. 

Leon was goodness - he was generous with laughter, hugs and praise.  He was the man you think about when you think of the perfect grandfather.   One day Buttin will tell Cub stories about his great grandfather and great-great uncle and that will be a very good day. 

Here's Cub today having fun, completely oblivious to pain or loss.  I'd like to keep it that way forever.

  1. Tell Matt that I am SO sorry for his loss and if there is a foundation, charity or cause that his uncle supported i will donate to it in his name.

    Hugs
