Pappy

When I was a little girl my Pap would sit in his recliner and let us comb and brush, and style his hair. I remember making it stand straight up and laughing so hard. My Pap would just sit there and grin the entire time. When I lived with my grandparents as a child my Pap would sit on the bed with me and let me look at doll part magazines till I passed out. He was always such a kind person and he was kind to everyone. People that no one cared about, people that always needed something, even people who constantly let him down he never stopped loving and caring for them. I remember as a child that he kept 2-3 different gardens on top of his church duties and his job. He would start planting his little seeds in the halves of milk cartons when it was still too cold. He keot them under lights and gently watered and kept them as they grew. I guess watching him care for his plants reminds me of how he watched over and cared for the people in his life. He was tender and giving and always thoughtful. When Gram was dying I remember Pap just sitting next to her bed and holding her hand. Sometimes he would just sit there for hours. He loved her so much and was there next to her. He didn't have to tell her in the end - she knew. I am so thankful that my daughter was able to meet him and spend time with him the first 3 years of her life. When we would call he would always ask "Where's Pappy's girl? ?" And Vivy loved him so much. After we visited in May she would ask regularly "How is pappy's foot?" Because she was worried about him. When I told her Pappy had died she reminded me that he wasn't gone because "we will always have our memories of him mom" I will hold on to those memories.
