It just all happened too fast!
At the begining of this month the kids and I made a trip to Oklahoma. We were blessed to get to make two trips to see Papa Larry ~ as my kids so sweetly call him. The first one to the shop for an oil changed that turned into needing new breaks for that I am now thankful because the kids and I got to spend a few hours talking with Papa.
And Papa got all of the kids the snacks that he is so famous for getting them. Everytime we pass a Goodyear anywhere including in Louisiana Caden wants to go see Papa at work.
We also had lunch with him before we left to head back home. I will remember that day forever. Caden spent most of the lunch going back and forth with his Papa Larry. I do not think that either of them have an ounce of stubborness in them!!! Caden did impress his Papa by eating a pepper off of the salad bar though!
A story ~ the day at Goodyear Caden was wearing red flip flops. Papa kept telling Caden that they were girl shoes. Of course if you know my son you know that he argued and argued. All day he talked about how they were not girl shoes. However the day we went to lunch with Papa he did not want to wear flip flops. Also this morning when I told him we were going to Oklahoma to see Papa he informed me he wanted "To show Papa his crocks ~ they are not girls shoes"
Today we said good bye to a man that loved his family ~ A Brother
A husband
A Father
an amazing Papa
And a Friend
We all love you and you are greatly missed by us all!

Hi Chan,
I just now learned of the loss of your father and your words of description about his sweetness and character have made me misty-eyed. What a blessing that you have such loving memories, though I know it is so hard. I'm praying for you, Brandi, Amanda, Nathan and all your families.
Thank you all for your prayers!
