In Memory of Big Papaw


If roses grow in Heaven Lord,
please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Papaw's arms
and tell him they're from me.
Tell him that I love him and miss him,
and when he turns to smile,
place a kiss upon his cheek
and hold him for awhile.
Because remembering him is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.

It's hard to believe that it has been two years. I feel like his memory is so vivid...it seems to me like last month that I saw him. I must shamefully admit that I forgot the actual day that he passed, and I felt really bad after noticing that it was two years ago this week. I love you. I know that his passing was very hard on you, and all the events after that day. I love you and am praying for you and our family.
