My grandfather Carl Heise, was a very important part of my life. I miss the times he took me to Dairy Queen after school and the way he use to pat my dog charlie on the head. I really did value the times I had spent with him because at time I thought he was my only friend when I lived in Ohio. Sometimes I can smell the banana bread my grandmother Ruby used to make when I was around him... But I will always remember how much he loves me and how much he cared about my family. Even at times he couldn't show it I know that he wanted nothing but the best for my dad and everyone else. I just hope he knows we felt the same about him. I don't know what happens but I would like to think he is with Grandma Ruby now. Just sitting next to her and watching Texas Ranger. Or maybe talking about how they raised such a great man, My father. It has been a long time since I held my fathers hand. and it has been a long time since I hugged my mother for so long...
But this is it.. And poppy is in such a better place now. No more suffering, and no more struggling just to walk. There he can fly along side my grandma. I love you poppy. I will never forget you.
RIP Carl Heise 1924-2012
