I miss you so much paw paw ... Not a day goes by that I dont think about you and remember all the times we shared. Ill never forget the lessons that you taught me ,the jokes you told that made me laugh , watching Rifleman and John Wayne , and making those god-awful mayonnaise tacos. I remember when you told me that I wouldnt graduate high school with my class ,and how upset I got ,and how badly I wanted to prove to you that I would. After finding out that I would indeed graduate... I couldnt wait to remind you about what you said ... Then I realized that you lit a fire in me that I so desperately needed ,and I wouldnt have graduated if you hadnt of said that . You were wise and thoughtful beyond measure and I hope to become half of the man that you were ...
