Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! My papa, my grandpa, was like my dad. Every summer we went on trips together to Washington D.C., New York, Santa Monica, California, and Miami, Florida. Unfortunately, he passed away January 7, 2009. He died of esophageal cancer - his third cancer in 15 years. He was a fighter, that's for sure. He's missed everyday, and I still feel as if he is on his usual business trip to China - one of the many he goes on. No one can ever, ever replace him. He left behind a wife, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, two brothers, hundreds of friends, his company, and a legacy that will always be remembered. Rest in peace, Papa. We miss you in the big D, little A, double L, A, S - and that spells Dallas! (That's one of the many, many songs he sings)
I miss you so much, Papa. And I love you even more. I love you more today than I did yesterday, and I'll love you more tomorrow than I do today - toot toot.
Oh Papa Wapa, how I love you so! I wanna pinch and hug you, and never let you go! Hey! I ended it with a big 'hey' - just like you tell me to. :)
Emily, your Stinky
