~ Poppaw ~



It's been one year, today. 365 days....

367 days since I heard his voice.

367 days since he called me 'baby doll'.

367 since he told me ' I love you '.

367 since he told My Mister ' take care of my girls '.

366 days since he wrote.....one word.....' coffee '.

366 days since I laid my head by Pop's and told him....

I'm going to be okay, I'm strong, you did good, Pop....I love you.

365 days....since....my world hasn't felt quite right.





Sometimes, I smell coffee....in my house....at midnight.

Sometimes, I feel his presence around me when I have my morning coffee.

Sometimes, I miss him so much....I can't breathe.

All the time, I wonder " What would Poppaw do right now? "

All the time, I wonder " What would Poppaw say right now?"

All the time, I miss him so much....I can't breathe.

Oh, sweet Jessica, I would love to give you a hug, Dear One. I remember when you posted about him. I had some met you in Blogland. I know you loved him so and he loved you - what a blessing to always have him in your heart!

I didn't realize it had been a year. This is a beautiful tribute to him. I know you and Mammaw are together today and I hope you do something in his memory. Maybe even sitting together and enjoying that cup of coffee that it sounds like he loved so much. Somehow I feel that he will be there with you today and I hope you feel him there too in your heart and that he can comfort you. :)

he is looking down on you from heaven sweetie and he is so PROUD of the strong, beautiful loving woman you have become and always will be.
I am so proud of you...you have been through so much since I found you...and you always go through it all so gracefully...
Thanks for being my friend, and reminding me every day that the glass is always 1/2 full....not 1/2 empty!

Sweet Jessica, you know that a part of him remains with you always, in the memories, time can never take that from you. Until some day you will see him again.
