before we went to leave, you came out on the porch so i could take a picture. you will always run and put your back against the wall but didn't this time. you came and stood in the middle and looked right up as if you knew. then you said, "God make it blue sky today."
everyone wrote letters to papaw to leave with him. i was hurting that i didn't get to tell him everything i wanted before he passed but wrote and told him everything. he was the best grandpa and great-grandpa. he selflessly watched you for the first three years of your life while mommy and daddy worked to make a living and give you a life that you deserved. he always was the only one who could give you bottles, read you books during the day, fed you lunch, and you always walked to the mailbox together. you were his little buddy as he called you. you both had such a special relationship and you gave him so much happiness in the last few years of his life. you were so lucky to have him and he was lucky to have you.
drew him a picture of you both and wrote "i and u" you had to get me to help you draw the heart. i know he was looking down and was happy.
gran had a good idea for you to leave a book with him. we thought you would pick those dang baby einstein books you read with him but when asked what book you wanted to leave with your papaw, he immediately replied, "Jesus calling" and ran to get it. his favorite book. i know his papaw is smiling down at him. we bookmarked that day, december 31st and placed it with him.
the book and all of his notes. we love and miss you so very, very, very much papaw. it isn't the same without you here. you used to read this blog all the time, it is so sad knowing that you won't look at it anymore. but i know and believe that sometimes, you can see us all down on earth. but you are with our Jesus now... fully restored! i love you papaw.
