Thanks for your kind words.

Hang in there Jake. Appreciate what you were able to share with him and
all the stuff he was able to teach you and do with you.
I love my dad, but he didn't really have much to teach me.. except
general values of life and such, work ethics and appreciation of what
you have. My grandfather, may he rest in peace, was more of a hands-on
handyman and metalworker. Where dad would never get his hands dirty,
gramps would not hesitate to take apart and fix anything or make tools
that didn't exist. He was always doing things with his hands. His tools
were the first tools I ever used, starting from 2-3 years old.
Anyways. Sounds like you had a good relationship with him and have a
bunch of memories and stories to share. So share them with someone.
I'm still dealing with loss of my grandparents, it doesn't go away but
you learn to deal with it. Force yourself to think of the cool stuff and
some project in detail, that he was involved with. Helps me at least to
be able to focus on something (with ties to the person who passed away)
rather than drown in endless overwhelming sadness.
Words don't do it. In fact, nothing really does it. Things have
changed and seldom for the better. You simply have to hold on, to see
what new calamity is coming down the chute.

How are you yourself these days Mr. Hoover?
Wishing you all the best.
