My Granddaddy went to be with His Lord this morning at 1:27am. I was already awake when I got the text at 2:20-I could feel it coming. Weird...but then again, it's not. The Lord cares for us in unique little situations like that. It's just His kind nature to ready me and sit with me through it. While I sat there in the dark I began thinking about what he would say to me...what he has said to me through his actions. This process brought a lot of happy tears. Here are just a few...no doubt I will come up with more throughout this process.
Find someone your heart loves , and then choose to keep loving them each day. Man, he was good at that!
Put others needs before your own. I often remember my Granddaddy massaging my Nonnie's feet. It didn't matter where we were, he wanted to make her comfortable and serve her...even if we were at the arboretum. :)
Be passionate about the things you love. He loved education and learning. All things LSU. Trains got him going. His family was precious to him.
Play hard through life with the ones you love. I miss him already.
