I can remember as a child when I was told that Grandpa Bob was not related to my sisters and me biologically.  I was told that Grandpa Bob actually adopted my mom just before he and Grandma Lita married in 1966 in the Philippines.  Needless to say, my child-like self was completely shocked!  I thought to myself: “Does this mean I can’t call him Grandpa? ”  I didn’t know what to do with this important bit of information…or if I actually had to do anything with it.  I quickly realized that this news was just that…news.  My sisters and I were encouraged to just take it, process it, and move on.  Grandpa Bob is still our Grandpa and will always be our Grandpa.  He had loved us like we’re his flesh…
