A Song for Grandpa

Few people in this world truly dedicate their lives to something greater than themselves. Every time I read or hear about such a person, I am always in awe of their selfless decisions and how their own actions truly aid everyone around them. One of these persons was my grandfather, Robert Mckibben. A dedicated social worker and compassionate husband and father of three, Robert Mckibben knew what it meant to commit his life to service and to the well being of society. Sadly, my grandfather passed away this past month at the age of 82, but his spirit is definitely still here and I'm looking forward to seeing glimpses of him in every individual I come across in the years to come.
Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith

  1. I am sorry for the loss of your grandfather, but even by the short bit you wrote here I can imagine he lived a good life and we should all be so lucky to do the same.
