His 40th Birthday
Mother's Day
Falling in the Holly Bush
I was just thinking about our time in VA and the time you were checking out the little porch, off the third bedroom and stepped through the window and out onto it and the next thing I knew you had fallen into the Japanese Holly Tree that was under the porch! You hurt from the thorns for days! We did have some memorable times there though. Remember filling in the "goldfish pond", after Jane - who was 3 at the time - fell in and almost drowned - we thought the pond was only inches deep.... wrong .... that was our first day there. The next day you and a neighbor, took the huge goldfish out, took them to another pond and then filled the pond in with dirt...the "pond" was not very big but sure was deep! We did have some great times there too, lots of picnics with all our Navy friends, great neighbors, who could forget Mama Pitts - she was a wonder!
Just needed some memories to make me laugh today! I love you.
"I'm Gonna Walk with my Granddaddy,
And He'll match me Step for Step,
And I'll tell him how I've missed him
Every minute since he left,
and then I'll hug his neck"

Well Bompa, Tuesday is court and I know you'll be watching. I'll never forget you walking right out of the courthouse last time. I am so grateful to have you as my grandfather,not just my grandfather, you're so much more than that. You're my Bompa. And we all know how much you love us. I think about you everyday, and miss you so very much. I know you're watching all of us, which is a very comforting thought. Chistmas is coming, every Christmastime I always think about the Christmas you helped me pick out the Lighthouse candle gift for Memaw <3. I know Christmas has to be beautiful in Heaven. I know you are having a beautiful, peaceful, pain-free time up there and you deserve it. Everytime Cameron and I talk about you he looks up and says, "Hi Bompa! I miss you and love you so much!" He will never forget "Bompa's Snore", I know :). Love you Bompa, I miss you so much <3
