Remembering Gramps

My Gramps, Peter Michael Anderosov, passed away on June 27, 2015.  The loss of a family members comes with reflection of good memories and time spent together.  Here are a few pictures I have taken over the last 10 years with Gramps in them.

I will have my own little ceremony of Remembrance this November as I continue our tradition, and lay a poppy for him.

I will miss listening to Gramps' stories of strength and resilience, but I feel blessed that I had the privileged of spending so much time with him and having a solid sense of Anderosov grounding in my Doukhobor roots, his adventures growing up and finding his independence, and joining the Merchant Navy.  I will be sure to carry forth his stories for future generations.
