What a Man

I am sitting here reading all these great memories and I can't help but cry. What a man.
When I was young, paw paw would always sit on the floor with me while we watched the sound of music. He would always cry when the gazebo part would come. The part where they sang "I must of have done something good". I would always grab his arm and hug him so tightly and watch him as tears rolled down his face. One day I looked up at him and smiled and said "Paw paw, you are so romantic"
He took me on valentines dated when I got a little older. He wanted to teach me how a boy should treat me. We did this for three or four years. We always went to red lobster. The last year we did this we sat there at the table in silence. I have never been one to require a lot of conversation. I like silence most of the time, but apparently it really bothered him. He said, "Well I guess this is the last date since we're not talkin'!" He is so funny.

I remember at Richard and Leslie's wedding when we were all back at the hotel, I was walking beside him and he stopped and hugged me and with tears in his eyes he said "You are going to make a beautiful bride". A little more than a year latter he was officiating my wedding. What an honor it was for him to do this. A memory I will ALWAYS cherish.
Paw Paw always made me feel like a princess. Like his princess.
