5 Things I wish I could Say to the man who left us too early.

Jul 30, 2018

November 24th, 2017. That day will always be a day that changed my life forever. It'll be a day I will never forget. It's the day you walked into Heaven. It's the day you were healed from all of your pain but we broken here on earth. We had so many amazing years together but there was still so much left unsaid. I've never really said goodbye to you. I've just been going through the motions. This is my list of things I wish I could say to you.

1. Thank you. Thank you for loving mamaw. Thank you for loving Tiffanie, mom, Cassie, Emberlee, and myself. Your love was unwavering, unending, calming, reassuring. We never had to question your love. You did everything you could to show us your love, yes even when you were a grouch. Thank you for praying for us, for providing for us, and for always supporting us.

2. You are kind. When you left us, nobody had a bad word to say about you. From being a second grandfather to my friends to helping those less fortunate in our community to always helping out at to deliver food or help with VBS. You were always helping and caring for others. It definitely didn't go unnoticed.

3. I'm sorry. I could be disrespectful. I could be a grouch (I learned it fro, the best.) I took my anger out on those closest to me. Sometimes, you caught my anger. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for ever taking you for granted. I hope you know that I would never mean to take you for granted

4. I'm grateful for you. You taught me about Jesus. You taught me about true love. You showed me how to have a servants heart. You showed me how to be kind. I learned most of my best lessons from you. You were one of my favorite teachers.

5. I love you. This is by far the hardest. I don’t think I told you enough. I’m so sorry. If you were here, I’d tell you I loved you a lot more. You not being here has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with emotionally and all I can think is I never told you I loved you enough. I hope you know I did.

Life is hard without you. Coming to terms with you not being here is hard. I miss you everyday. Thank you papaw for my old man. I’ll see you again one day soon. Rest easy.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
