Grandpa C

I was working today and realized that it is February 12, the day Grandpa Christensen died. I was just thinking how sad it is that it's been 13 years since he died and frankly that's half my lifetime. But, I still remember very well those last few weeks before he died, taking care of him in Gunnison Hospital and being with him those last moments in UVRMC.



So, here are a few memories I have of Gramps, as a mini-tribute:
1. He once spent an hour teaching me to play pool in the rec room of his condo. I still suck at pool, but it was good bonding time.
2. We would take walks from his condo around a local neighborhood. Part of the walk included stairs, where there was a reward at the top (my 10-year old mind always hoped for candy, but really the reward was the view and rest)
3. He discovered Hawaiian punch in Gunnison Hospital and would request it as part of his meals because he liked it so much.
4. He was a legendary Rook player.
