Remembering PawPaw

Since my SIL kept Jacob over the weekend we had to go and pick him up and had the opportunity to go to the cemetary where PawPaw (Harold) is buried and teach the boy's about Memorial Day. They enjoyed going and this is the first time as a family we have had the opportunity to all go together. There were already a lot of beautiful flowers when we arrived and we got to add some patriotic ones to the bunch.
We love Paw Paw so much. We miss him so much. He was such an example of faith, love and patience. I wish the boys would have had a better chance to know such a great man. I am so thankful for Harold and all that he has done for our family. I still think of him often, especailly since looking at Aaron as he is getting older reminds me so much of his dad. Mateo was so excited to go see PawPaw since he really doesn't remember him because he was only 6 weeks old when he met him. However I told him that PawPaw was watching over him when he was very sick. So Mateo has to connect everything together and when we got to the cementary he said, "Am I going to see the angel that was helping me when I was so sick?" I love that boy and all his wisdom. That is how he refers to PawPaw whenever we talk about Harold.(The angel that was watching over me when I was sick.)
