I miss you so much pappy. I miss calling you and telling you about what happened at the dance competitions or the softball games you couldn’t attend all the time. I miss the car rides up to my panthers tournaments for softball and overall I miss being able to see you. You were the best grandpa ever and I wish I showed it more and showed how much I loved you and appreciated you as my grandpa. I know you’ll always look over me and my dad . But it still hurts knowing you’re gone and not able to be here for my future or see me turn 14 , 15 , 16 etc. I love and miss you so so much .
