Pa Pa, I am happy that you are no longer suffering. I feel blessed to have spent some of the final days of your life with you. The laughter, ALL the talk about New Orleans food, the hugs and the I love you's. I will always cherish those memories. Even our final few phone calls after I returned home, although the last few you weren't able to respond. I know you heard me, and I'm glad I called you the morning that you left us to tell you that I love you one more time. Enjoy your heavenly home, and give hugs to all who have gone before you. Until we meet again, all of my love.
