My Grandaddy

This is my Grandaddy!!! I love him sooo much! We have always been extremely close! I spent mostly every weekend with him and my Nanny when I was a child. Their house felt just as much like my house as my house did to me and sometimes even more so! He is the best man you could ever meet! He took my cousin and I on many trips w/ him and my grandma, cooked me breakfast every morning before taking me to school, came home on his lunch break every day to bring me lunch or take me out to lunch, we went to The Taste of Italy or McDonald's at least once a week, he sat in the hallway with me every single morning before school and walked me to my class room and to my desk each morning b/c I didn't' want to wait alone...he never complained, he actually acted like he enjoyed it!! He bathed me every night that I was at his house and would tickle my feet as he brought me to my grandma, He let me stay up after the news was over so that I could watch Archie Bunker with him, I loved that show, but I loved sitting in his lap and smelling his pipe even more! He let me sleep in bed with my grandma and him! He taught me about Jesus, he taught me how important it was to go to school and make good grades, he would give me money for every A and B that I made! I will never forget the biggest smile on his face when he met his great granddaughter Avery!! He never missed sending me, Ryan or Avery a birthday card on or before our birthday! He even gave Avery her first birthday cake this year on her birthday!! He showed me what it was like to have the world's greatest Grandaddy!!!! He loved my grandma more than anything and took the best care of her until her last day...he showed me what an amazing husband looked like! He was the last one standing at my wedding, he danced all night long and actually had some pretty good moves!! I am so blessed to have him in my life as my Gradaddy! I am truly, truly blessed and thankful for all that he has taught me! I am forever grateful! There are so many wonderful memories that I will never forget!

My Grandaddy has cancer! I hate that word sooo much I don't even want to type it on my blog! He has been fighting it so hard for over a year now and honestly, it doesn't look good for him at all. I can't even imagine not being able to pick up the phone and call him, he loves to talk and tell all of his stories! And, I love to listen, but I should have listened more! If you feel led to do so please pray for my Grandaddy! Just pray that he is comfortable and at peace! We love him so very much!! Thank you for your prayers for our family!
