**I didn't mean for there to be two threads going about this at the same time and I apologize. When I made this new thread, I thought the old one wasn't really being used anymore and I felt the situation changed so much that it was worth a new thread. If I had known the other would still be going, I wouldn't have made this one. Just thought you should know that.**
Anyway, I have been feeling so sad since I got home about an hour ago and I've been looking at pictures of my papaw (the few that I have since my hard-drive crashed and I lost everything). For some reason, I feel compelled to share them with you. He was truly a wonderful person... 1. Smiling, like he always did... 2. With my neice They came to get his oxygen and medical supplies today...that made it seem so much more real. I miss him more than words could say...

Oh, Angie, so very sad to hear of your loss. However, at least he was spared much of the effects of alzheimers. He still knew all of you at least & knew you loved him. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Angie thank you for posting those pictures. I looked through all my pictures (not on the computer) today. I have very few left. I lost most of them when I split up with an ex & I didn't have a single picture of Papaw left. I know I have some on my old hard drive. I am going to take those to get them pulled off hopefully on Tuesday. but I saved those two atleast I have something now. Thank you again.

You can tell from the look in his eyes that he was a man with a good sense of humor and very loving toward his family.
Be thankful that in passing he didn't suffer long and his mind was fairly good. As Marilyn said, "At least he was spared the effects of alzheimers." You and your family are in my prayers.

I hope you make it through this heartbreak as smoothly as possible. My prayers are with all of you.
