On September 6, 1989, the world lost the most WONDERFUL man ever. My Paw Paw lost his battle to cancer 20 years ago today. There is not a day that doesn't go by that I dont think of him. I loved him sooo much and miss him just as much. I sometimes wonder WHY? Why did he have to leave us, especially when I was soo young. I wish he could of been here to watch me play softball, or to watch my get my diploma from the University of Alabama. I wish I could of seen him smiling as I walked down the isle to marry Dan, I know he would love Dan, especially during football season. Paw Paw pulled for both Alabama and Auburn, and Maw Maw said when it came to the Iron Bowl he was for the better of the two. I believe deep down he was a bigger Alabama fan! :) Most of all, I wish he could be here to meet Aubrey and Lainey. I know they would be his pride and joy, probably even more than I ever was. There are little things that the girls will do that remind me of something Paw Paw did, and I believe and know in my heart it's his way of letting me know he is watching over them and the rest of our family. There are times when the girls are looking up towards the ceiling and they just start smiling, I believe that Paw Paw is looking down from Heaven at them and giving them a big grin like he would always do to me.
I can't wait until the day that I see you again!!! I LOVE YOU!!
