We miss you so much,papaw.Not a day goes by that when we come down that long driveway,we expect to see you on the front porch smoking your pipe with Peyton by your side.No matter how bad you felt,you insisted on helping carry in the groceries.We will miss your funny jokes,singing to your own tune,and making life a happier place for all of us.
