I have lived away from my family for almost ten years... EEEK! I spend as much time back at "home" as possible. I have an adoptive grandfather... (thanks Erika and Melissa for sharing) I make sure I have lunch with Grandpa Bud whenever I am in town. It makes my day as much as it does his. A few years back I was saying goodbye and he told me to send him a note in the mail so he would know I had arrived safely back in Ohio. I thought this was completely ridiculous. I had to drive 800 miles and the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was sit and write a note. Plus if something had happened it would be days before he ever knew. BUT when it's your grandpa you do it anyway even if you don't want to or think it's ridiculous... SO, now after every trip when I get home I make sure within a day (or two) to make a card and send it to Grandpa Bud.. :)
