Self Portrait Tuesday

My Grandpa...William Dempsey

This is the last week of January's SPT Personal History challenge. Since I posted a picture of my Grandmother during this challenge, I thought I'd end this month with a photo of her husband. I believe this picture of my Grandfather was taken back in the 1940s, sometime during his teen years.

I remember not liking my Grandfather much when I was younger. He had no patience, he was very strict, and loud. Combine all that with his size and he was quite intimidating to a youngster. But now that I'm older, I see him as...generous, caring, and wise. I couldn't ask for a better Grandfather.
