One weekend....one moment...A Great Grandfather...A Grandmother... A Mother .....and four children.....four generations......WOW! Can you believe it? Priceless!
My Grandfather ( Paul Streiner), the short little gray haired man, standing only 4'11"....of German decent. Looks boyish himself. Dressed appropriately would be hard to distinguish between him and the kids. LOL!! Isn't he cute?
Growing up he and my(late) grandmother were always the disciplinary, educating, and stabilizing factors in my life.They were my summer care takers for much of my childhood, growing up. They were my mothers blessings when all other resources failed.Single motherhood for her was very trying, I'm sure.
This one weekend recently, in September 2008, My Grandfather, Mother, I and the kids all spent the day at John's for the sake of my Grandfather seeing his GREAT Grandchildren before the inevitable happens. Hopefully not soon.
At 87 this little man who's ideals, morals and values to this day are instilled in me and will be instilled in the minds of my children is the Man who's memory I will hold dear to my heart.
I love you Grandpa!
