Happy Birthday, Pop!



86 years young today. He's the Knight's paternal grandfather. He sits in a chair near my desk every day at work, for a little while anyway. You can't tell it from this photo, but he is a tough cookie. He still mows his own grass, cuts up firewood, etc. He's had bypass heart surgery, a knee replacement, and more, but he refuses to slow down and behave. We love him for it. He comes from a generation that doesn't seem to want to stop and take it easy, and most of the time, that's part of his "charm." It might mean he isn't around another decade, but he's lived life on his terms this long, so I can't see trying to change him now.

Happy Birthday, and many more! Not that he'll ever see this, but that's not the point...

Many happy returns of the day to Pop. He sounds like an awesome guy. Enjoy him as long as you can. There is wisdom in that 86 year old brain.
