It's amazing how as one becomes older one realizes the importance of genes..suddenly we reconnect to that part of us that was /is our very own self..uncanny but true.
Love this piece..saved it! Ty Felix

PS your Gramps is so sweet in this picture..

i can empathize with this one, Felix ... i never met either of my grandparents ... a very moving tribute ... he seems to have been a good man, you can see it in his eyes and smile ...

The photo shows his wonderful character and spirit...

SWEET!!!!

I love a person who admires their heritage. Without this terrific man what would Mister Fee be missing?

A lovely heartfelt tribute!

Oh Felix, you brought tears to my eyes! Oh life ... that old impermanence thing ... ouch!
"...He is me and I am him, that cannot be more clear..." How beautiful and supremely true!
He would be so proud of you ... wherever he is; life never ends...
You are your Grandfather to your beautiful JLee and Lily! Oh, how life connects and combines! You have his love inside, as well as all your own. How Abundantly Precious…
Thank you for sharing this... and your bio pic is updated, showing you in front of your boat .. And then I read this poem! See the connection...?! Love it!
Love, Suzie :-D

AAaawwww...how so deeply precious...

awe...this is beautiful thought of your unmet grandfather

Felix,

I barely remember my mom's Dad. What I do recall, he was a gentle, loving man. This is a beautiful tribute to yours, even though you didn't know him. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Never knew my grandfather either -- this is such a sweet write!
