Today I had to say goodbye to the man who taught me so much. Who taught me what the definition of a man was the man who taught me how to treat other. The man who taught me never to give up no matter the odds and the man who taught me never be ashamed of who I was or who I wanted to be. Today I thank you papaw for being the father I needed when mine wasn't there thank you papaw for loving me even when I made it dificult to love me. and most of all thank you papaw for giving me a home. May your soul finally know the rest you never gave yourself reidering the old I'll rest when I'm dead and lastly in my papaw's infamous words Shit fire and apple butter I'm going to miss you papaw.
