OUR PAPA, March 2010

 Brooklynn and PAPA. 

This is March 2010.  You are 2 1/2 years old.  This is a picture of you and your Papa. He loves you so much.  He calls you his "Little Bit".  When he felt better, he would come get you and drive you all around.  He loves being around you and hearing your sweet laugh and voice.  You sing to him. His favorite songs are "Jesus Loves Me" and "The ABCs". 

Recently, Papa was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  He is being very strong and brave about it. He did one round of chemotherapy, but the side effects of chemotherapy were not very comfortable. Because his cancer has progressed so much he has chosen to discontinue the treatment of chemotherapy. He has decided to live out his life happy and comfortable, without the side effects. He is now on hospice, and even your wonderful daddy helps out a whole lot.  He has been surrounded by hundreds of friends and family, and is enjoying every minute of it. He LOVES company! 

I hope you will always remember your Papa.  He told me through tears that he was sad he would not get to see you grow up, but I know he will be watching you from up above always.  You light up his day when he sees you.  

And one day while he is watching all of us from heaven, I am sure he will be telling God about his "Little Bit".
