Today is Groundhog's Day - which means that it's Pop's birthday also!! I remember thinking it was pretty nice that Pop's birthday was on a fun kind of holiday. Made it special each year.
As the years go by - and as the folks in the photograph move on - I am even more grateful that the birthday is one we can celebrate with assurance that we will all be together again one day.
Grandpa Terrill was a special man. His last years were a bit sad - he struggled with health and clarity - but he was pretty kind and loving through it all.
Glad to have so many good memories.
If you knew him, think of one of them today. Maybe even share it. If you didn't know him, ask someone who did to share a memory with you!!
One of my favorite memories - the times he would call our house, often confused, but somehow knowing who we were. And he would ask for Harry. And then say, "He's a special man you know."
Always made me smile!

I love the memory of going on a father daughter ward camp out with grandpa, my mom and my sisters. It was a first for grandpa and mom. As an adult I realized just how special it was to share that experience with them.
I cannot imagine life without the knowledge that we will be with our loved ones again. What a relief!
Happy Day grandpa Terrill.
Dad has told me a few stories of Grandpa Terrill that are very special to me.
I just love the story of his life in general. He is a wonderful example to me and I hope to pass that on to my kids too.
