unique

I was at a museum today, and my Granda startin talkin about my grandfather, and how he had a creative mind and strongly believed in hard work. She then said that was passed down to his son, which is my dad. Then I said it was passed down to his son, which is me. Later on, she also told me that my grandfather had a big influence on my dad. Writing this now, I cant help but get teary eyed over the fact that I never had the chance to meet him. My grandma always mentions how proud he would be of me, and what i've become. I feel really special and unique to be the son of the only son my grandma had, and even more that I'm the son of an engineering genius and creative mind. I'm always told how great in math my grandfather was and how he would always see the little things and oddities of certain objects. My dad inherited that from his dad, and I inherited that from my dad. Sometimes, I wish he was here just once so I could see what he was like. Pictures and stories can only go so far in describing a person. When my dad tells me the story of him seeing his dad come down from the sky, I always believe him no matter what anyone says. His bond to his dad was very strong, just as the bond between me and my dad.
