{my Daddy & 2 grandfathers ... 3 of the greatest men I've ever known}
I usually don't get all sappy on y'all
...
But today
...
today I am sad.
Today would have been my grandfather's 84th birthday but after a long and fierce battle with lung cancer ...
the cancer finally won in August of last year.
My papa {as we called him} was one of the greatest men I will ever have the pleasure of knowing. He was funny, so smart and gave the best advice.
I never heard him speak a harsh word to anyone and have never met anyone with a bad thing to say about him.
I know that today {and everyday} he's looking down on me.
And I know that he lives in spirit in the hearts of so many people whose lives he touched.
I miss him everyday, but today ... even moreso.
I always tried to be the first person to call him on his birthday ...
If I wasn't he poked fun and told me I must not love him as much as whoever was the first! :)
So pardon my sap ... And thank you for listening!
I appreciate you all each and every day! xo
