Jimmy Kean was my pawpaw. He always knew how to make people he loved and cared about laugh. He was like superman in my eyes. No man could ever change that. Or take his place. He was simply the most amazing person I have ever met. I'm glad that my grandfather was in my life. I love him to pieces and beyond oblivion. When he laughed it sounded like thunder. But it made you smile just to hear him laugh. I remember the car rides home where we would dance and laugh. I remember seeing him and it made my day. I wish I was able to see him and hug him and listen to his heart beat again. I would give up my sight, my arms, and my ears just for one more chance to.
