text: what should i give my grandpa for his birthday? hes going to be 72 this year. his wife died 3 years ago. a scrapbook of his life - gather pictures, newspaper articles and other things that have significance. for example, my grandfater turned 90 last year and spent much of world war ii as a navy doc on alcatraz - we gathered pictures from his life, even ones with my gma who passed away about 10 years ago - all leading up to current times. he totally loved it! we found articles in old newspapers that were relevant to him and life as he remembers it. he took it around to all of his friends at the senior center.  it doesn't have to be complicated - you can find all of the supplies you need at a local hobby shop.  that'll be a gift that you created and put effort into and when he passes, will be returned to your family as a great remembrance of his life!
