Today is Pappaw's birthday so yes I am very down. There are holes in me where his voice and smile used to be. I am very sad today.

Remember:

When he was teaching me how to read and Nanna would make 2 batches of doughnuts. one to eat and one just burnt and Pappaw would say, "Guess we're going to Krispy Kreme." And then he would hold me up to the window so I could watch the doughnuts being made.

When Sarah was born and I was so scared that something was wrong with her because she was all wrinkly and he said, "Yep. That's a fine looking baby." And i wasn't worried anymore.

When they tried to take my diploma and Pappaw went down to the school and raised the roof until they handed it to him.

When I bought him that terrible fruit  slushie and he acosted every passerby to tell them, "My grand daughter bought me this"

When he would give up his weekends to drive me to pow wow even though he should be working just because I thought it was important.

Every wrong thing Pappaw somehow made right just by being there. I am glad Nanna got Alteimers and can't realize what she lost when he died. If she hadn't she would have been close behind. BUT I do not think i will be sad when she dies... because then they will be together for all eternity. Love you guys... angel
