Reasons I love my Grandpa Jones:
- Because he sang "Oh by gosh, by golly- it's time for mistletoe and holly" every Christmas. Frank Sinatra's "Oh by gosh, by golly."
- Because he called my Grandma, "Rose" (even though that's not her name haha)
- Because of his love for horses (what a cowboy)
- Because he loved John Wayne movies!
- Because he let me play piano that one time during a golf tournament on TV
- Because he'd show up at the door randomly for a visit
- Because he married Grandma
- Because he took my brother and I on horseback riding trips to Caribou National Forest
- Because whenever he walked in a room he always cleared his throat (humph, hmm, hmmm)
- Because he'd always fall asleep with his mouth open
- Because he loved road trips visiting his grandchildren
- Because he cared about his pioneer ancestors
- Because he loved grandma's good food as much as I do!
- Because he brought us a trampoline one day after school
- Because he let us dog sit "Molly"
- Because he always smelled so good when he hugged me
- Because he called me "sweetheart"
- Because he and Grandma would come all the way to Rexburg to take me out to dinner when I was at school
- Because he'd often slip me money as a poor college student
- Because his testimony of the gospel was brighter than the sun.
- Because he loves the savior
- Because he's tough
- Because we both get to be missionaries together now!
Oh how I miss this sweet Grandpa J of mine. I know I will see him again someday.
Love you Grandpa.
