hey pawpaw, its been a few months since ive last wrote to you so im here tonight. i never mentioned how i got my first boyfriend, you would’ve really liked him. you guys were similar with interests, i think i saw a little bit of you in him. we arent together anymore but i still wanted to tell you. junior year only has 3 months left and already im terrified for it to end. it ending means that im finally at that final stage of my childhood, the one i wished you got to see the most. ill be a senior in august. its so crazy to me that its been almost 6 years already. i’ve completely grown up and changed since the last time you saw me. it sucks knowing you never got to see any of my major accomplishments but i guess it makes it a little more special i get to tell you all about them one day. 
forever your little girl 💗

i missed your birthday yesterday, you’re 71. 
it was your 5th birthday in heaven and i cant imagine how much golf you’ve played these past 5 years. i know you’re having fun up there but not too much, i already feel like im missing out on enough.
i love you forever pawpaw

saw a quote a minute ago
“ill carry the memory of you,
far longer than i carried your presence”
immediately i felt the need to write to you, and put this quote down here for me to read when i come back every so once in a while. 
Times moving fast, we’re all getting older, with age comes forgetfulness but i can say right now my future kids will know of you. They will know of how wonderful it was to be around you, how comforting it was to hear your voice, and how loved you were in the community. I hope my future kids find comfort in the stories i will remember to tell them. Theres not much i remember but i can tell you i think about the day i dropped the sock full of rice out the window while i was with you working. You were mad at me for just a slight second, “Got Doggit Kara.” Little did i know how significant and special that memory would be to me in the future. Oh how i miss you more than words could express.

Today is a very sad day for many people including myself but I know in my heart, today is not the day you passed, it was the day you went home! I don't see you as gone. I see you waiting in Heaven for the rest of us to get there. Wayne you have touched so many people in your life and all that loved and respect we all have for you, has now turned into the strength we all need from time to time in our own lives. Sandra and I love you so much! and I will see you soon my Brother!!

How can it be 5 years?  So many memories   You loved the water and golf and your boys and grands and great grands. Best of all you loved me. I miss you

its officially my 16th birthday pawpaw!!
im getting my license at 8 tomorrow and i couldnt be more excited. i miss you more than anything and 5 years have never felt so long, until we meet again💗

tonight i miss you a little more than usual.
tonight marks the day you went into surgery those 5 years ago. 
tonight marks the day i thought i would see you again in a couple days.
just a day before my 11th birthday i got the news, you finally went into surgery. 
you were doing so so good until you werent.
the morning of my 11th birthday just around 7 am i said my final goodbyes over the phone.
i didn’t know how much loosing my grandpa at a young age would affect me. i was sad, i was angry, i was young and  most of all i was naive. today i am approaching my 16th birthday, and it still to this day feels like i lost you yesterday. i miss you so so much pawpaw and i know how proud you would be of me today. i love you forever and always.

its almost been 5 years now. i think about you quite often now pawpaw. now that im older and i understand better im Glad that youre in a safer place now. almost 16 now, im almost all grown up. i love you pawpaw

Hey pawpaw.
its been 4 years and a couple weeks now, i turned 15. I havent taken drivers ed yet but im so excited to get my permit. I turn 16 next year. isnt that crazy? i lost you the day i turned 11 and ill be 16? Anyways, im doing the best i ever have in school this year, 4.8 gpa. Im so proud of myself. i dont think my mom is though but thats okay because all that matters is that i know you’re proud of me in heaven. Im missing you alot more lately, thinking about how you got to see kinley and kaleb in highschool and be there for them when you didnt even get to see me enter middle school. i have alot of guilt lately aswell. i always feel like im never doing enough or as if im never going to be enough for anyone. i know you would want me to be happy and im really trying i just dont think its gonna truly work. i wanna go to therapy but i dont think mom would let me. i love you so much and you will forever hold such an important place in my heart.

I miss my friend🙏🙏 Helped me with my projects

listening to zach bryans new single, Pink Skies reminds me of you. Thinking of you always. i love you

hey pawpaw, todays your 3rd birthday in heaven. Your 69 now and i miss you alot. i hope your doing okay and your happy up there, i love you and i miss you so so much.

hey pawpaw im writing to you because im really struggling right now. schools super stressful and i really am trying my best but it just doesnt seem to ever be enough. my friends are all so busy its like we can never make time to hang out anymore and it really sucks. i miss you alot these days im already almost half way through freshman year. i wish you couldve atleast seen me graduate. i love you lots

hey pawpaw, its been 3 years and 4 days and ive never missed you more before. I finally turned 14, im officially the “normal” age for a freshman. Highschools hard so far, im falling behind in geometry english and biology but im trying my best and i hope i can bring my grades back up. Im an athletic trainer for football, i really enjoy friday night lights and being on the field but i dont think im gonna do it next year. I got my dress for homecoming, im super excited for the homecoming game too. Im really struggling right now but im gonna push through for you. I love you forever and always❤️

I miss my friend every day and can remember his professionalism in everything he did🙏🙏🙏🙏

hey pawpaw its been 2 years and 9 months, i miss you so much. death isnt fair, how come God takes away all the people i need most. I understand theres always a reason but i wish there didnt have to be, i wish you wouldve been able to see me and kaleb graduate, or even get to see me “graduate” 8th grade. Now that gramps is gone too it makes me think about you more, ill see you soon one day. I love you🩷

sometimes i think im just waiting on you to come back from painting a house or helping someone but i realized recently that version of you that i last saw is gone forever.

in a few months it’ll officially be 3 years without being able to ask you to take me fishing, asking you to come pick up or whatever i would think of. i miss you like crazy, and whats crazy is im going to highschool already. i know how proud you would be of me. i still look back at photos and videos and think about you, i wont ever stop doing that either. i miss you so so much pawpaw, i wish you were here. i love you.

its been 2 years now without you.
i turned 13 ! which means im finally a teenager, not one day do i go without thinking about you. Im already in 8th grade and in 9 months ill be a freshman in highschool. I love you so much and i miss you more than anything ❤️‍🔥.

almost 2 whole years without you, i’ve made it through 6th, 7th. and just starting 8th today, i cant imagine how proud you are of me and im just hoping you are, its been rough without but i still try to talk to you every night, i love you so much. 💕

10 months and 2 days without you, i miss you so much words cant even explain i cant wait to see you again pawpaw. i will always love you no matter what i miss you so so so so much.

So sorry for your loss Ms. Joan and Cyndy. Praying for you and your family. May your memories sustain you.
