Grand Father and Grandfather

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please? Because every now and then in life, there's opportunity you should seize. And that moment is upon us, after all, 80 years ago, there was a birth day, and I've got so many thoughts to share, yes, that one line leaves so much to say: Hello, my wonderful Grandpa, these words are just for you, because I'm proud of who you are, and I'm very proud of what you do. And I know that you love your fishing, hunting is also something you hold pretty dear, and it's good to see you're still so young at heart, after all, you're still going, year after year, after year. 6 children and 15 grandchildren, look how your mighty oak has grown, we're all very grateful for your kindness, especially for all the love that you've shown. You made all of us feel so very important, and we've never said just how wonderful you are, but if our love for you was a distance, well, then it would be further than the furthest star. Buttons, Bunny, Bootsie, Binky, Butch, and Bucky, (just why was it they all started with the letter "b"?), well, we all just wanted to say thank you, you simply mean the world to him, her and me. Actually, you used to call me Hammy, and I know mere distance couldn't keep us apart, because you were always in my thoughts and prayers, and yes, we were always joined at the heart. I never got to say it too often, but I love you, I love you, there, I've said it twice, because I know that you're so very special, I've never known anyone even half as nice. I just wanted to say you're a grand father, in fact, you're the grandest in all the land, and if I said you're also the perfect grandfather, it may be confusing, but I hope that you understand. We just wanted to say "Happy 80th Birthday", I guess that's really what these words are for, here's to you, Grandpa, you're truly wonderful, and here's to saying "I love you", for evermore.
