My great-grandpa died today
My great-grandpa Norm (Arnold Norman Carlson) moved to a better place today (10/16/2009) and left behind an influence that will last forever.
I only got to meet him a few times, but dad says he is very glad that I was born in time to meet him. This picture is of me, my dad Nate, my grandpa John, and my great-grandpa Norm (four generations!) the first time I met him. He’s been unable to communicate for quite awhile, but lit up the first time he saw me. Dad says that he will tell me lots of stories about Great-Grandpa Carlson when I’m older.
Dad thinks that he just held on long enough to make sure that the Carlson name got passed down from his line. That’s a lot of pressure on me – thanks a lot Dad!
