Getting Old Ain't for Sissies

On December 27th, the same day as Abram's baptism, Rolf's grandfather turned 85 years young. It was such a blessing for us to be able to celebrate this milestone with him. He was surrounded by his oldest daughter and wonderful son-in-law, 4 of his 13 grandchildren, 3 of his grandchildren-in-law, his 3 great-grandsons, his "girlfriend" who flew in from Pittsburgh, and several other friends.

One of Grandpa's favorite quotes is "Getting old ain't for sissies" by Betty Davis. To say the least this past year has been a hard one for Grandpa. He has seen many challenges and had to make several very hard decisions but through it all he has shown that you can grow old with grace and dignity.
