Early Friday morning my family lost a great man. My grandfather passed away at the age of 91.
Papa was an honest, hard working, Christian man. He was dedicated to his family. He was often in song. He enjoyed his garden. He had a tickly mustache stubble that made Maya laugh when he kissed her. He had a kind heart and a great sense of humor. I was always amazed at his wit and spryness.
We didn't make it back home for the funeral, but I am thankful that Maya and I were able to visit him last month. At the time, he had recently been diagnosed with cancer but was doing fairly well still. The visit was bittersweet. He said that we may never see him again. I told him that we loved him.
We will always remember him.
