Yesterday was my Grandpa's birthday. He died several years ago but I still think of him every year on his birthday. He was a real old fashioned cowboy with true grit--maybe even more grit than my father would have wished but he loved us and when we were little took us camping (yeah, I've been camping) and fishing and taught us how to ride horses. My mom said he was her real John Wayne and so yesterday in Grandpa's honor we went to see the new version of True Grit. The film was fantastic starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Hailee Steinfeld and makes me want to read the book. My Grandpa may not have been a US Marshal but he was a great man who could definitely out cowboy Rooster Cogburn.
Happy Birthday, Grandpa!
