Today is my Grandpa Napolitan's birthday. He would have been 87! This is his first birthday since his passing last October. Grandpa was such a great man. When I was younger, my grandma and grandpa would come and visit us in California for about 3 months at a time. They were always there for Christmas. I loved Christmas break, because we could spend it with them. Grandpa was always so cute when he drove. Ofcourse, we would always remind him the speed limit was 45, not 25, but we loved him so much, because he was taking us to get ice cream, or to go shopping. I will never forget the time when Grandpa was at my soccer game. We were winning 3 - 0. I got pushed ( I am sure I started that one) but my grandpa didnt like the fact that the ref didnt make a call, so here was this little old Italian man on the side lines yelling and screaming at the ref...my mom actually had to hold him from not going on the feild...now those of you who know grandpa, know he is a small gentle man...so this ofcourse was very funny! I have so many great memories of my grandpa. I wish I would have lived closer to them so I could have spent more time. I am so grateful I got to say goodbye to my grandpa. I believe in my heart that he waited until we were all there to see him one last time. His last words to me were " I love you". I feel so special to have a guardian angel up there watching over my family and I. I know he is there to help me through the tough times, and to smile during the great times...I also know that the reason the Cubs are doing so well is because he is up there shining down on them! GO CUBS!!!!!
Grandpa, I love you so much, and I miss you everyday! I hope you are having cake and ice cream up there, and all the spaghetti you could ever want! Take care of Grandma, and please watch over her! We all miss you so much! Happy Birthday!
