I missed my daddy it still hurts like it just happened

I miss you so dearly Papa. Mostly I miss when you and Granny were younger enough to get around on your own. When you guys lived in Eastlake and had yard sales. Everything was so much better back then. I could come to your house on any given day and never know who you might run into. It was so fun. Our family was so close back then. Sad to say since you and Granny have passed our family has basically all but went there separate ways. All of that togetherness especially over the holidays is something I'll always hold close inside my heart. You guys really were the best grandparents someone could ever have. There are entirely way too many great memories to post on here it would take all week long. I just wanted to let you know I miss you so very much. Love you
