I got a VISIT

Man did he love pizza!!!!!

with Mom on Thanksgiving

Sticking his tongue out at me he was being funny for the camera

With Dad on a cold night mom would always warm him blankets in the dryer and then he would wrap them around his neck ........memories

He just got done brushing his hair he was always so handsome!!

Not sure how to really explain this other than my grandfather passed away December 29Th 2008 from extended illness. The last 3 months of his life he lived with my parents after a broken hip due to a fall, my grandmother was no longer able to care for him. With a family as loving,caring and compassionate as mine no one could even have toughts of him any where else than with a family member so my parents welcomed him (more on my dad the side I never saw before later) . While my pa-pa was there I got to visit ,sing and even fix him a peanut butter cracker or too and listen to him spell States-my favorite was Florida and Mississippi. I would always say pa-pa you are the best pa-pa in the world and he would say thank you thank you then I would say I love you and he would say I love you too. Well last Sunday morning I had a dream I was at my parents house and my grandfather was sitting in my dads recliner (which he was never able to while there) I was in another chair and my mom was on the sofa. I said to my mom I am going to get him to say it and I said pa-pa you are the best and he says thank you and then I say pa-pa I love you and he says back to I LOVE YOU JENNIFER and I look at my mom and it is over I wake up. I do want to mention I could only see him from about the chest up he looked like he did at my parents and from the time I visited him in the hospital I never heard him say my name. I have never ever had any thing like this happen to me before I do not even think I had ever dreamed about him. I have heard people say things like this do happen but I would always say never to me not yet. BUT now I can saw it is true ,people we love and miss so much do VISIT and comfort us. You my be thinking wow and yes that is what I thought WOW so much I only told Allen that evening and then this past Wednesday shared it with my dad. I keep thinking did that really happen or was it a visit from Pa-Pa. I have alot more to say on the life of such a strong loving and comforting man my Pa-Pa was maybe I will get it on paper one day. I do want to say I pray God is still making Pa-Pa's like mine for others to know the true joy they bring to granddaughters like me. These are a few pictures from the last few months even weeks. I love you Pa-Pa and you are the BEST and I loved the VISIT!!!!!!

Enjoy and BE BLESSED!!!
