On March 2nd, my precious Papa went to be with the King. At 93, Papa had lived an incredibly rich life and the countless memories we have shared will forever be in my heart. He had spent 19 months in a Veterans nursing home and has suffered from Alzheimer's for several years now. How precious the gift of life is. Papa's life is a model for many to follow. He valued the simple things in life, people, family, God. I find joy in knowing that he is with his Creator, but miss him dearly. He was a my hero, one of the greatest men I have ever know. He was so proud of me and loved being a part of the things I enjoyed, even if it meant sitting during my cheerleading practices. :) He is greatly loved and will be dearly missed.
