It’s hard for me to find words to say. I wish I could pick up the phone and call you Papaw.
It always made me smile how he’d always ask “how’s your car runnin’?” When I was little, he would pick up rollie-pollies and eat them to make me laugh. Later in life I found out he was just throwing them over his shoulder! I always wanted to climb the giant magnolia tree in their back yard, and he loved to climb it with me. Recently, our “thing” was going to Chipotle together when I was in town. I always smiled at the way he said “Chipotle’s”.
My Papaw was incredibly strong-willed. Even though his health declined, he was in the gym as much as possible and I admire him greatly for that. He also loved to do Sudokus to keep his mind sharp.
I love you so much Papaw, and I know how much you loved me too. I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life. Give Grandma a big hug for me.
Love, Merideth
