Papa when I saw your picture I immediately thought of one of the times Sommer, Shelby and I came to see ya'll and Shelby said "You're HOT Papa!" You blushed and grinned. It makes me smile to think of the love you and Nana shared, I know I will be well if my marriage is half as strong! Until I see you again! I love you!
