This quote was taken from the Golden Book titled, Walt Disney's Grandpa Bunny. It was first published in the early 1950's but was just published again last year. It was my favorite childhood book and the favorite of my brother John and my sisters, LaRae and Cheryl. I would encourage you all to find this book and read it to your children. It reminds us of the miracle of Grandpas and the greater miracle of Life Eternal.
My father, John Robert Oleson, was born October 9, 1918. He died October 25, 1999. He is not forgotten. His life was an example to us all. He loved us and his farm and his country. He believed in family, honesty, keeping the Sabbath Holy, the word of God found in the Bible, and observing strictly the Ten Commandments. I will always remember Robb's prayer at Dad's funeral. It was beautiful and comforting. I remember he expressed his gratitude for his Grandpa's example on how to treat a wife and children. My father was a gentle man, a kind man, a man you could count on to help when help was needed.
The picture above is a beautiful sunrise taken at my home last Saturday. I remembered Dad. He was a Great Grandpa Grandpa!!!
