I can’t fathom it’s almost been 10 whole years since your passing. One of the hardest predicaments of life is grief. I like to imagine us, as a family honored to have it, because it means we were blessed with a man worth grieving over; And a spectacular man at that. One thing my mom has always told me; when she first found out that my papaw had stage four lung cancer, the first thing that popped in her mind in that very chilling moment was he would never see me graduate High-school. This August has began my senior year in high school, and I will be destined to graduate this December. And man… do I wish he could be there… one telephone call, one five minute conversation, what I wouldn’t trade for that. One of my favorite songs is by the name of “A Lot of things different” by an ole East Tennessee boy by the name of Kenny Chesney. Everytime I hear that song and replay my last moments with my old pap, all the innocent ludicrous mistakes I filled the last visits with him doing instead of hugging his neck and telling him how much I loved him, not fathoming the thought of a “timeline”. He wanted to to beat cancer so badly and stay with his family; but God intervened with our hopes unfortunately. Time is an absolute thief, that robs every moment and every memory. Every Chance you have with loved ones get every moment out of it, cause you never know when your gonna be pouring your heart out in an obituary comment section either. We miss you like crazy old man ?

It's coming up on a year since my father passed. He was a awesome father, a wonderful and funny grandfather. Thank you everyone who kept our family in your thought and prayers. Daddy I love and miss you dearly. Always your Little Princess...❤
