Grandpa Cady

It is amazing how the Lord works. One of the things I wanted more than anything is for my Grandpa Cady to be able to be there when I graduated from pharmacy school. After all, he was the reason I choose that profession. I remember sitting on the floor in the Winslow hospital while he made IVs and discussed things with the doctors. His health had declined to the point that he could not travel or come. He passed away a week and a half before I graduated. One week before my graduation we buried my grandpa. He had said that if he could pass away before I graduated that it would make it possible for him to be there. I feel he was. I will miss my grandfather, but I will always be grateful to those who got him involved in the gospel prior to his passing. To me he was the example of why you never stop praying for the ones you love to find the gospel in their lives. I hope that I make him proud as a pharmacist and that he knows how much of an impact he made on my life. (If you want a good summary on the life he lead read Mariam's Post) I spent almost every summer of my life with my grandparents. They took me to my first day of school. Taught me to be responsible. I learned how when you call 911 when Grandpa collapsed that you need to know the address of the house you are at. Grandpa taught me not to take anything given to you to eat or drink, and that scrap pieces of wood makes good swords. I saw a lot of rocks, petroglyphs, and dessert. I learned to be strong when it was needed. (like pulling grandpa out of Canyon De Chelly) He learned to say I love you, and I learned about travels from all over the world. USSR, England, Romania, Germany, and much more. Most importantly he showed me that as family, we were worth doing all he could to support us. He was always there.

I love you Grandpa
