My work grandpa is officially retiring at the end of this week. He used to sit in the cubicle right next to mine. Eventually the department decided that he needed to be more accessible across the department, so they moved him away from me. Now he'll be moving away entirely. I'm so happy for him, but yes, I will miss him a ton.
I've only gotten the chance to meet each of my grandpas once in my life. Since I don't have one here in the states to claim as my own, sometimes I meet people who I look up to fondly as a grandfather. His nickname for me is "Jaws", and I can't tell you how many times he's made me laugh so hard until I cried (at work).
Anyway, I'd like to get him a retirement gift, maybe even something to remember me by. It isn't about me though. What should I get him to wish him well on his next journey in life?
He and his wife plan to do missionary work for the next several years. I'm so happy for them. What an incredible way to live.

mmmm..a pocket watch w/ engravement (like we gave to mr.wright), a journal for him to use for his misisonary work? hehe :))
I almost got him a journal, Mony! Then I came across "the one" gift, and I knew it was perfect for him - the travel wallet. :)
Thank you for the suggestion though!! You led to the right aisle :D
