Grandpa Nelson was featured in Vai Sikahema's Deseret News article last Friday.
Check it out! :-)
Grandpa Nelson will forever be engrained in my mind as a saavy businessman, the most knowledgeable BYU sports fan AND the biggest jokster who ever owned a black 25-cent baber shop comb. His humor is dry and his love tender.
In the past year, I have felt prodded to know my Grandpa on a personal level. With every phone call or conversation, my heart and appreciation for this man's legacy widens immensely. As I've learned about his struggles and biggest accomplishments, I'm beginning to see my grandpa as a living, breathing, progressing person--not just the old guy I like to give hugs to and who is the King of laffy taffy jokes. In listening to him talk excitedly about his hobbies and interests (carpentry, business literature, self improvement and family history), I am enlightened and feel joy in knowing a little more about such a wonderful person.
Family is good, ya'll. Soak 'em up while ya can.
