My grandpa had a magic tree... when we were little and drove across the 
country to see him and grandma, he would take us to the back yard and ask us 
if his candy tree had any ripe candies for us. There was a little pine tree 
in the corner and it always had a fresh crop of candies tied to the branches 
for us to pick! Grandpa swore it grew candy because he had dropped a piece 
of gum in the hole when he planted it. We believed him for years.

When I grew up I realized that Grandpa may not have had a magic tree, but he 
had a real magic that was even more special. He has always believed in me, 
supported me, encouraged me, and made me laugh. He was a Missouri farm boy 
who left the farm but never lost his love of the land, and he taught me (a 
city girl) to share that love. He loved horses and dogs, and encouraged my 
obsession with animals even when my parents definitely did not. When I told 
him I was in love with a mustang he was the only person who told me to go 
for it. :)

Grandpas *are* special!! :)
