i loooooooved my grandfather- he's the only one i had. my dad's dad was never a part of my life- he was an alcoholic & left my grandmother way before i was born. i think i talked to him on the phone 1 time when i was in middle school. he passed away a few years back. but my grandfather, pa paw, who was a HUGE part of my life was completely amazing. one of the funniest men i've ever met- best sense of humor ever & always had me laughing. that's probably one of the reasons i'm so attracted to guys that make me laugh. he was the best at that- a great story teller, too.
he took care of & loved and adored my grandmother like you wouldn't believe. i don't know what she's gonna do without him. they'd been married for 66 years!! cutest couple ever. i remember tori & i sang at their 50 wedding anniversary & they were so happy.
the good news is that he lived in columbia so i got to see him a lot. not as much as i probably should have, but a good bit. i actually went to visit them just 2 weeks ago & brought flowers & sat down & talked with them about my life & how much i loved them. then i called & told pa paw the news about my new job earlier this week and i can't tell you how excited he was. he kept telling me how proud he was of me & how much he loved me. oh man, let me get some tissues. i'm a mess.
so i'm happy because it was quick & he was ready & i know where he is & that he's having the time of his life right now. i have to admit i'm jealous. i think he knew how much he was loved & lived a wonderful full life. but i really wanted him to see me get married one day. that upsets me a lot. i know he'll be watching, though...or maybe we'll all get raptured before that even happens. who knows.
alright i can't see the screen anymore so i need to take a deep breath & go read my Bible & head to sleep. i love you, mac mcconkey, pa paw. i can't wait to be with you one day again. i'll miss you...
he was so cute:
