Yesterday, my Papa finally died. My sister was with him when he died, she said that right before he left for heaven, he opened his eyes a little, and let one tear ride down his cheek. The Hospice Nurse, that was there talking with Me and My Family, told us that he was probably looking up seeing heaven's gates open up for him.
My Papa, wanted to go to Heaven, I think that I could tell that he couldn't stand being here, unless he was able to do things on his own. He got frustrated all the time from not being able to say a word, or a sentence.
My cousin Adrienne, is very, very, sad. Dad said that since she was the first grandchild, it is especially hard for her. Last Month, Adrienne's son Ashton, died from being born only 23 weeks into Adrienne's pregnancy. I think she is pretty jealous of Papa, because he's up in heaven with Ashton just rocking him in his arms.
Yesterday, I said, "I wonder what Papa is doing right now." Memaw said, "He's probably looking down at me saying, Myrtice, why haven't you combed your hair today?" We were all laughing, trying to cheer ourselves up. 
Kendra said, that it was really hard for my Memaw to see them take Papa away on the stretcher, My Dad was walking with him all the way to the car.
I'm glad that Papa is up there, being able to do whatever he wants, in the presence of Jesus, his parents, (They were hit by an 18 wheeler.) and Baby Ashton, being able to say every word, and every sentence clearly. I can't wait to see My Papa run to me when I die one day, it'll be the most greatest day of my life.
I love you Papa, Rest In Peace, I'm going to miss you very, very, much. XOXO

Oh Kaitlyn! I am so sorry to hear about your Papa. I know you are going to miss him very much. Just know he's up there in heaven watching you and waiting for you to join him.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses (the saints who have gone on before us!)
May God bless you and your family and may you find comfort in His word.

Kaitlyn, I can't even begin to imagine what you all are going through. I love you all SO much and hate to see you suffer such a loss. I am SO glad that you got to move down there and were able to get to know him better and be near him when he went to heaven. He's in SO much of a better place now, though. Even though it's hard, just remember that where he is, there is no pain, no suffering, no woe. Remember how frustrated he was when he couldn't verbalize his thoughts? Well, he's probably just up there now talking up a storm with Jesus. =) I love you and will be praying for you!
Luvya,
Your BFF and ever and ever and ever,
Birna.
