Miracle whip and watermelon???

1 year ago today my grandpa Tschaggeny passed away from Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.  He was diagnosed February 12th, and fought hard that month and half.  It is hard to think it’s been 1 year since I have been able to see him and hug and kiss him.  He was an amazing man.  I miss him so much and life is just not the same without him.  Parties were so fun with grandpa T, you could always count on him to make you laugh.  Grandpa was so fun to watch eat…yes he would put miracle whip on his watermelon, among many other things.  :) Watching TV was just as entertaining, he would manage to fall asleep in his lazy boy and just when you thought it was safe to change the channel he would wake up and say “ I was watching that” and be able to tell you everything that happened.  Growing up we had sleepovers a lot at our grandparents, every year on our birthday we would go to dinner and a movie and stay over night.  Sleepovers continued even still when we all got married and had kids, every year the weekend before Christmas all the grandkids would sleepover, play games and hang out with the grandparents.  Grandpa made everyone he met feel so special.  These are just some of the many memories I hold close and cherish of my Grandpa T.   Can’t wait until we meet again someday, LOVE YOU!!

  1. I just got off the phone with your mom and was saying to her that it feels like a year and then at the same time it doesn't. I miss hearing "Shake my hand charge my battery."
