My dad passed at 58, We were best friends, golfing buddies. They were in Florida that dark cold January day in 1991 in Ohio when my mom called at 8am to tell me he was gone. Heart attack. We (wife and kids) were coming down the following month for a 2 week stay as usual in February. Mom said he couldn’t wait for me to get down to Florida and play golf with me with me. It was all he talked about. Never got to say goodbye or how much we loved each other.
So, I am just completely, totally, madly in love with our only two grandkids. They live in the court behind us in a neat little golf course community. So I put together a binder for each of them. Telling them how much I love them. All the funny, silly things they have said and done with advice I’ve gained over the years in hopes it will help them avoid mistakes In their lives and about our faith. I wanted them to have the Goodbye that I missed even though I know how much my dad loved me. I guess I just wanted it in writing for them. We spend a lot of time together...nearly every day. I love every second of it. I honestly do. It’s amazing that they both say that I am their best friend. They are 6 and 4. They would prefer to hang out with their Paw Paw over most anyone else.
Anyway, I finished my binders tonight.
I finished binders for my two kids, full of instructions on my will, how they will be set for life. How much they mean to me....etc.
So......I guess I’m ready to go........
