Pop Pop

this weekend our precious Pop Pop went to be with Jesus

oh how we love that sweet man

& how blessed we are to have had him in our lives

he was loyal to his bride of 52 years

who he loved deeply & selflessly

he taught his three children to be kind to everyone

he had a twinkle in his crystal blue eyes

& the lines of his face showed a perpetual smile

he proudly fought for his country in World War II

& probably never said an unkind word to anyone

he could do just about anything

& always had a joke to tell

he truly loved the Lord

& loved others well

it was no suprise

to hear how smitten the ICU staff

was with Pop Pop

the last few days of his life

everyone loved him

my sweet tender hearted husband, who has the same spirit as his daddy

told me this morning he was thinking about his daddy

& how certainly he was  reunited with grammy in Heaven

how in Heaven since there is no concept of time

it's probably as if they've been together all along

Pop Pop had told us yesterday

he was ready

ready to meet his Maker

& ready to be with his sweet bride

again

forever

we sure do love you Pop Pop
