My Pappy, My Hero

For those of you who know me, you will know that I was extremly close to my Pappy. Pappy recently passed and entered into heaven . I'm still trying to get to grips with it. My life moves fast, and slow all at once. He was a great Crhistian man, the best one I ever knew :) I included his obituary and a picture. No amount of words I write could EVER do the justice of what he was. He was a devout Christrian, retired pastor, great pappy and loved my grammy SO much. I miss him , but I know he has no more pain, no more worries, and he finally is at home in the heaven he long for. I only hope that as I continue in my life, I can achieve completeness in Jesus, just as he had- and join him :) I know this post is long, but that's ok. Pappy Deserved it :)

Behind my smile there's many a tear, for one we loved and lost so dear, an empty place that cant be filled, i miss you know and always will. When none of it made any sense and just as I was about to lose Faith, GOD whispered in my ear "Heaven needed a hero" RIP Pappy, I miss you

:( 11/7/25-10/24/2010. Heaven Got the best angel that day ♥
