It is a picture of me with Grandpa and Grandma's dog Blecka in the backyard of their house in Aurora, Colorado. You can even see some of Grandpa's garden in the picture. Here is what I remember about this picture. The picture was taken in 1987 and the broncos shirt I am wearing was one that Grandpa let me pick out. Grandpa used to take my brother Jason and I to the mall down the street to let us pick out a broncos shirt everytime we visited. He would load us up in the station wagon and then he would open the back door and Blecka would jump into the car and ride to the store with us. I remember so much black dog hair being in the back of the car after she got in but I loved that dog and so did grandpa. We would usually wait until the day before we left, but grandpa would always take us to the store to get a broncos shirt that we wanted. We would badger him all trip until he took us. It was one of the highlights of our trip every time. So if anyone is still wondering why we like the Broncos....you came blame grandpa Dick and he would be great with that. I looked up to grandpa and his strength of character. I have a shell casing from his memorial service that I keep with me when I need strength. Most of all we looked up to him for the great father and grandpa that he was. His character lives on through all of the people he loved...and so does his love for the Denver Broncos!!
Grace & Peace
