Grandpa

My grandpa passed away last night. Donald Porter Mitchell. He passed peacefully in his sleep, just as he wanted. We used to sit on the couch when I was little with my toy tape player and microphone and play airplane. You were the captain of our flight and made all of the announcements. I was always your copilot. I still collect stamps for you. It's hard for me to throw them away. We used to sit with you and look through your stamp collection. Today is for celebrating life and remembering the good times. Rest in peace grandpa. I love you!

The man loved to laugh! And it was infectious.

Grandpa's model face.

  1. :'( Very sweet, A. I vividly remember those airplane flights, but had forgotten them until you just called them to mind.
