Happy birthday Peepaw!

Today my Peepaw would have been 80 years old. He was always very special to me and our entire family. It is still hard to think that he isn't here with us anymore.

I think the things I miss most right now are his surprise calls, his hugs, and getting to see him with Caleb. I know how much Caleb would love him, and I know how much Peepaw would laugh at Caleb's cute things.

One thing we did together was to go get ice cream after school. He'd pick up me and my cousin, and we'd find some ice cream! I told Caleb we'd have to eat ice cream in Peepaw's honor sometime today.

I'm so thankful for him and the role he played in my life.

It's so hard when you miss those who have gone. I'm sure you would have loved to have Caleb grow up knowing him. But by sharing your memories with Caleb, he will feel like he does.
