Popsy

Well, I need to catch up on the blog or I won't ever be able to because picture are adding up!  My last post was on August 12, and the last picture I had posted was of my dad and my Pawpaw Chilly...who I loved calling "Popsy".  The very next morning I woke up to a text that my dad sent during the night that Pawpaw had died.  I hadn't felt the pain of loss like that ever before.  He was my grandfather so, of course, he was getting old, but he meant so much to me.  Some of my fondest childhood memories involved him and it was hard.  God never left me though.  His strength and comfort exceeded my pain. Pawpaw is missed and will be missed so much!!!  I am so grateful for the gift that he was to me and my family!!!

Mikey was out to sea with the Navy and couldn't be there, but he and Pawpaw shared the bond of both serving in the Navy.

This was the last picture taken of Pawpaw in July when my parents took them out to eat for their anniversary!
