Its been over 10 years since you passed. So many things have changed. I am about to start my senior year of high school. I cant remember much about you. I feel like I never really got to know you. I knew you were my papa, my father figure for those few short years. I remember when you had that beard and I didn't want to give you a kiss so before I came over the next time you shaved it off. you shaved it off just so I would give you a kiss. I love you papa I wish you were here to help nana and grandma and mom. I wish you were here to see all you grandchildren and great grandchildren grow up. nana tells us the story of you biting the cracker lid, and of her throwing a shoe at you. I keep looking you up online, I just want to know who you were and what you were like what you did in the military or whatever it was that you were in. I want to know what those metals you got were for. I hope your watching over us, watching your family. I love you papa and I miss you.
