:(

A year ago today, we lost Pawpaw. I loved him dearly. I had planned on dancing with him at my wedding for my father/daughter dance. Yes, I have a father, but we've never been close and usually only see each other a few times a year. Pawpaw helped raise me. He was the most important man in my life for the majority of my life. He was an amazing person. He and Mammaw were like a second set of parent for my brother and me. Mom is of course our #1, but I don't know what we would have done without them. The farm (which was sold this summer - and it was a blessing) was the only home that was a constant. Pawpaw was raised there, mom was raised there, and we were raised there. We have made many homes as we have moved over the years, but Mammaw and Pawpaw's was always there. A day never goes by that I do not miss him, but I know he is in a far better place with no suffering.
