Sail
I still cry every day knowing you are no longer in the world. The most permanent thing this world has is death... My naked finger reminds me of the ring what will forever be in your casket with you.
You used to give the best bear hugs. You always made room on the swing between you and maw maw for me. That time you visited us at the camper and we all went to get a shower but you stayed behind to watch spar-kee. You thought he ran away because you couldn't see him in the dark. You called for him and looked for him outside and when you came back he was chilling on the window seal in the back of the camper. Staring at you like a you were crazy... because spar-kee likes to sneak around.
Anytime we went somewhere you'd make sure we had spending money.
You always liked to be clean shaven even if it meant shaving twice a day.
You loved being around the family... you were a family man.
You cherished maw maw... if I could find someone who loved me like that, I don't even know if i'd believe it. You were supposed to approve of my future husband.
I'm lucky to of had you for 27 years... I only knew my other grandpa for 7. Deaths leave holes in foundation and I hope this family doesn't crash like dads did. Without family, I'd have nothing.
You used to pass mints around at church. You used a walking stick and would take the time to poke things with it on your walks.. You were very observant.
You loved Spar-kee.
I remember when I was a kid and got you a #1 Grandpaw cap, you cherished it and was so proud...
I understand how the people can be in so much pain they rip their clothes and shave their heads...
