  10. Papa is my sweetie and I am his sweetheart, so how fitting that the day we gather to celebrate his life will be St Valentines Day. Papa and I became so close over the past 6 years. What a blessing it was to know him not only as a grandfather but also a man. To all of Papa’s family and friends that are grieving, just know that you are not alone. I miss Papa, but I find peace and joy in knowing that Papa is now truely HOME walking on streets of gold and having a family reunion with those loved ones that he has been missing for so many years. I am grieving, but for my loss not for Papa’s glorious,well deserved home coming. I know this is not goodbye, just until we meet again on the bright sunny shores of heaven. Thank you Jesus for the promise of your return and the knowledge that I will see my loved ones again. I love you all!
