I'm fairly certain that no one outside my family knows what a Bompie is. I know for sure that no one else has a Bompie... but everyone should. My Bompie has been one of the constants in my life. He has always been a tremendous example to me. He supported me, and respected my decisions during a very tough time in my life. Bompie is my Grandpa. I feel so lucky to have been blessed with 4 amazing Grandparents. I have always felt loved, and special. (That's pretty incredible since they have about a million grandkids, and 10 great grandkids!) Bompie has been married to my Nanny for 54 years! In a time when marriage is disposable- they have stood strong.
One of my favorite Bompie memories is when Pyper was born. She was his first great grandchild, and he was so proud. While I was in the hospital he brought me a copy of the birth announcement, that he made to send out.
I will forever picture him sitting on the kitchen floor talking to me, or in his coveralls working outside with a big grin on his face when I drive up the hill. I will never forget him still calling my Nanny "baby" after 54 years. He loves my husband- and he loves my kids. I will always have a special memory of the beautiful blessing that he gave Crew.
When Dale and I grow up- we want to be just like Nanny and Bompie! We love you Bompie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

OH that is so sweet! I'm glad you've had him in your life...what a special tribute to him. Isn't it amazing who Heavenly Father puts in our lives to help us get through? What a darling and sweet grandpa!
