just plain sad

Today we laid my Papa to rest. He passed away sunday morning, 10-5-2008. I'm sad, my heart just hurts. How do you say goodbye to someone who has been in your life since you were born. Someone who you cherish, someone who was perfect. I was with papa saturday afternoon until about 930pm at the hospital. I knew he was ready to go, he was in pain and suffering. I actually prayed for the Lord just to take him and end his pain. He answered my prayer and my papa went quietly in his sleep with my dad by his side. Im sad that Garrison will never know how wonderful he was. Every picture we looked through of us growing up my papa had two or three or four grandkids piled in his lap...reading us a book...feeding a babydoll....or just loving us. I guess Bryan has our papa now, but I wasn't finished with him here. I know that is selfish but I miss my papa. I miss you papa and until we meet again my heart will ache
