Project 52: Week 22 Challenge- Admiration

Hey ladies- Teresa here, coming out of hibernation for the past several weeks to post your Project 52, Week 22 challenge! Life has thrown our family few too many curveballs recently, so I haven't been able to keep up with the challenges, but I hope to get back in the game once things settle down again.

One of these curveballs is the inspiration for my challenge to you this week. On Saturday, I attended the funeral of Jay's granddad. He passed away unexpectedly after a brief illness the day after we returned from a house-hunting trip (we've moving across the U.S. at the end of the month). As hard as it was to be there with him when he passed, we were so very fortunate to be able to say our goodbyes to this incredible man. At the funeral, there was standing room only. His friends and family spoke of his life with glowing admiration- married to his love for 66 years, a Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps, a true officer and gentleman to the core. He welcomed me as his granddaughter with open arms and the photos I have of him with Ella (his only great-granddaughter) are so very precious. I greatly admire the way he lived his life, touching the lives of so many others, and always giving of himself for his family, friends and community.

So...who do you admire? Or, what qualities to you most admire? Do you live your life in a way that would make people stop and consider how they could be more like you? Do you strive to be that person? What qualities are you trying to instill in your children? Make this week's page somehow follow the theme of admiration. Maybe you have a story to pass down to your kids, totally up to you what you choose to scrap about. But, virtual bonus points if you choose a person and then are able to tell them just how much you admire their life. :)
