Poppa
I have such wonderful memories that we’ve shared while growing up. I love you so much and miss you. You are the greatest poppa that anyone could ever ask for.
One of my favorite memories was when Chris and I were supposed to be taking a nap and you were draining the pool and came in our room and told us let’s go swimming. So in the pool we went with just enough water for us little kids to swim and not be scared. Oh wait. What about the times Grandma caught you coming in our room late at night giving us cheese and pickles…..
I could go on and on about the memories. I just feel blessed enough to have been able to share those with you.
I love you Poppa and you’re great smile will always be close.
