today,,,,,and so close to retirement,,,how he would have enjoyed that! I will be 60 in January. It doesn't seem all that long ago,,,that he came home from Vietnam, we were planning our wedding,,,had our first child,,,second child, third child,,,and then watching them graduate one by one,,,,now they have children of their own,,,he was a wonderful Pappaw,,,,,,how he would enjoyed his grandchildren, just like he did his boys,,,only better (because you can send them home!) And then retirement,,,,we had plans,,,,,we were just getting to the point we could take little mini trips and getting out some,,,,,you just never know when God will call,,,,and doesn't do you much good to plan,,,,,,,but we had a very good life, family, and marriage. And oh,,,the memories,,,,,,,,,,,,priceless!!
Matthew sure loved his "papa"! Wish Jacob could have known him!
