My G

I keep a photograph of my grandpa Ralph McCloud. He passed away in 1995 and the only memories i have of him are fading memories of a kindergardener. Though i was at the age of 5 when he left, i can still remember playing baseball with him and watching the St. Louis Cardinals on telivision every week. I can not post the phot up bacause it is at my parent's home in Dayton, Ohio, but if i could, you would see him sitting on the couch in his Blue Cardinals jacket, with a white button-up t-shirt holding a cup of coffee. i believe the reason why i have kept this photo of him for so long is because it symbolizes everything i remember about him. In memory, i think of him as a Cards fan; he always wore his button-ups and had coffee with him. This is what i remeber and it is the reason why this photograph is so dear to me.
