When I was 2 my parents bought their first house. They used a loan through the Marines because it gave them a lower interest rate. To be able to do that, my Grandparents had to move in for a couple years. That couple of years turned into the rest of their lives. I will always cherish having them in the same house while we were growing up.

Out of the few things I remember, I do remember his tattoo on his arm. I don't know what it was, but I know it was from his time in the Marines. And I remember his lay-z-boy chair in the living room. There were many days when I would bring all my toys out and play behind his chair. I don't know why, but that was my spot.
I remember once (and this probably happened many times) my mom would drop me off after preschool and go somewhere else (work or errands, I really don't recall). She came back and I hid behind his chair. My mom would go "Where's Heather?" and my Grandpa would reply that he didn't know. He would wonder if I had been picked up at all. The whole time I was giggling behind his chair.
I do wish I had more memories of him, cause what I remember he was pretty cool. I do have tons of my Grandma that I'll be sharing through out the weeks. She was the most amazing lady.
Do you have a lot of memories of your Grandparents?
