This page is in memory of my grandfather (butch) aka pappy

My Pappy was my hero, my superman! He is missed much more then i can put into words! he got cancer and i losed him about 5 years ago. he is gone but will never be forgotten.

pappy

you were there when i entered this world

you were the first person to see me

you gave me my name

you took care of me

you helped me take my first few steps

and then rescured me from the top of the stairs

your name was one of my first few words

after no ofcourse

you told me bedtime stories

and taught me my first prayer

you were always there to tuck me in

and kiss me goodnight

you taught me my ABCs and 123s

you use to watch cartoons with me

you would protect me from my uncles

when i was bugging them

you would brush and braid my hair

and i would watch you fix a car or what not

we would have our little talks then

and in these talks i learned right from worng and how to be a good person

you taught me how to ride a 2 wheeled bike

you called me your baby girl

and you were my hero

we were a perfect team

in my teen years

our days were number in more ways then one

i wanted to be cool and hang out with friends

and vactions, summers, and weekend were never long enough for both.

and you found out that you were sick

you kept hope that you were fine

that you were stronger then the cancer

but now i am helping you walk around and taking care of you.

i bring you a glass of walk and help you in bed

i kiss you goodnight on your forehead

i smile and you look at me and say

you are the first grandbaby you are the oldest and it is your job to tell my story to the others

i began to cry and you squeezed my hand and smiled softly

you are so beutiful and i am proud of you

baby girl i love you so much remember that always

i dried my tears that had started rolling down my face and repeted the childhood prayer you taught me.

i kissed you once more and away

i never thought that this would be the last time we would be together.

i looked back to you and you looked so bad you were in so much pain

the first time in a long time i prayed, i prayed as hard as i could that night for your pain to stop.

and as i cried myself to sleep praying that you would stop hurting you were taking your last few breaths of air

they woke me up with the news

and all i could think was it was not fair i still needed you

but think now i realized that it was what had to happen

if i would have known that i was going ot lose you i would have not hang out with my friends during the summers

there is so much that was left unsaid

and all i have left is your wisdom, words, jokes, and dreams.

i miss you so much and i can't help but to think about you when i do something or something happens

and that makes me miss you more

i love you pappy so much and i miss you so much

this is a pic of my pap when he was younger. i guess i can see now why my gram married him. he had a great smile. he was always smiling all the though his life, even when he was getting real sick he still smiles.
