Wednesday, I lost my only grandfather, my Papaw. ❤️
My Papaw was a wonderful example of what a man should be. He was a wonderful husband, a loving dad, an amazing Papaw, and the absolute best playmate for us little kids. Not to mention, the best pole barn/playhouse builder there ever was.
I’m not sporty, so that’s one thing we didn’t have in common, but we did share a great love for country music. I’ll miss our deep discussions about who was the best singer, the best songwriter, and, of course, who was the prettiest at the time. 😂 Those conversations will always make me smile.
More than anything, Papaw had a way of making you feel wanted, important, and loved. And for that, I am so thankful.
I hope I can carry that part of him with me. I will strive to make the people around me feel the same way Papaw made me feel—wanted, loved, and valued.
I’m going to miss you more than I can put into words, Papaw. Thank you for all the memories, all the laughter, all the little things you did for us, and most of all, for showing me what it means to be a good man.
I love you, Papaw. Until we meet again. ❤️
