My Grandfather

Todays post is not about technology, its about family. Its about my grandfather Tom McCarthy Sr..

I feel very fortunate to have grown up down the street from my grandfather. From the time I was able to walk down there on my own, to my last visit with my children, he always made me feel special and that my time there was important to him. Whatever amount of time I spent there he made me feel like the most important person in the world. 

On my last visit, not knowing if I'd see him again  I paid special attention to how this great man took in everyone around him and how his face would light up with a smile when his grandkids or great grandkids were in the room. He was so proud of his family and he should be. Raising 8 kids himself on a modest income from the 40's to the 70's he didnt have much by way of material things.  I spend a great part of my adult life reading books on successful business people, how they accrued their  wealth and financial independence. Perhaps I should spend more time learning about people like my grandfather, a man who was greatly loved and admired and one of the most successful men I've ever known!

I Love You Grandpop! God Bless!
