My Paw-Paw

I started a post to wish the men in my life a Happy Fathers Day & I realized I haven't told you about my Paw-Paw! So I decided that I had to stop right then & there to tell you about him!

My Paw-Paw just turned 84 this past April & he doesn't look a day over 70! My Paw-Paw served our country in the Navy for several years before becoming a pastor. He is a retired Southern Baptist Preacher, although I don't think Preachers ever really retire. He continues to do visits, funerals, & a few weddings too. My Paw-Paw is the finest man I know, when I think about him my heart fills with more love than I can express. When my biological father left us (my Mom & I) when I was only 2 weeks old, Paw-Paw drove to get us & brought us back home where we stayed for the next 3 years. He is the definition of a Godly man & I have no doubt that God looks at him like a "good & faithful servant". He is a wealth of knowledge & anytime I have a question about the bible or need advice I know I can always call him.

My Paw-Paw while serving in the Navy! Isn't he so handsome!

We were so blessed to have Paw-Paw marry us, he didn't quite make it through without crying nor did I, but it was so beautiful! He did both S-Man & D-D's baby dedication! And gave S-Man his first bible this year for his birthday! What an amazing story my boys have to say their great-grandfather did their baby dedication!

Mee-Mee & Paw-Paw with the boys 2 years ago.

My Mee-Mee & Paw-Paw are my grandparents but really are more like second parents to me! They helped raise me & I will be forever grateful for their example in my life! I love you both so much! Happy Fathers Day Paw-Paw!
