Pawpaw's Diary Messages to my Grandsons 117

 



My Favorite T-Shirts Are Gathering Dust

By Steven Skelley


My favorite t-shirts are gathering dust

Stacked neatly on top of each other

There on the lowest shelf in my closet

I see them as I open the door

Grandpas and Grandsons are best friends forever

Old t-shirts are all I have left of you


My favorite t-shirts are gathering dust

My heart breaks each time I see them

I wish they were on my chest right now

Telling you how much I love you

Grandpas and Grandsons are best friends forever

Old t-shirts are all I have left of you


My favorite t-shirts are gathering dust

I used to wear them every day

My favorite people call me Pawpaw, one says

But they all mean something like that

Grandpas and Grandsons are best friends forever

Old t-shirts are all I have left of you


My favorite t-shirts are gathering dust

Staring at me from the stack on the shelf

Grandpas and Grandsons are best friends forever

Old t-shirts are all I have left of you

Grandpas and Grandsons are best friends forever

Old t-shirts are all I have left of you

Pawpaw loves you forever Connor, Bryson and Archer!

Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson and Archer!


Hi guys,

  Here's a short video telling you about something I'm proud of.


I love you and miss you.

I wanted you guys to see that your parents and I had many loving years together. We all were happy together. I'm sorry that their new religion and politics caused them to disown us and ban us from seeing you or even sending you birthday or Christmas gifts.  For some reason, 2021 would be the end even after she posted this about me being the best daddy and Pawpaw. I'll never understand. 


I miss you all. So much love and life together was senselessly thrown away.


If you ever find my messages, please try to contact me. You will always be my buddy-pals.


Love you,

Pawpaw

Connor and Bryson, do you remember this? You both are in it in this pic.


Your Mom told me that she'd like a way to store all your stuffed animals. I searched for designs online but couldn't find what I wanted so I designed this. Tom helped me build it for you two. I bought the zoo sign because I thought it was perfect for assorted stuff animals.


The funniest part was, after your Mom and I filled it to the top with your stuffed animals, you two took them all out so that you could sit in it!

Pawpaw loves you and misses you all. I would never leave you.

 Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson and Archer and he always will.


I saw some photos of Connor and Bryson today from 2018. I had taken you to the Octagon Wildlife Rescue zoo. I hope you enjoy the pics. 


We had many love filled and wonderful times together, my dears. I miss you.

PAWPAW'S DIARY: Messages to my Grandsons 111

 


Pawpaw loves his grandsons. Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson, and Archer. (I also love my bonus grandson Mike.)


This is a video I recorded while driving home from a modeling gig. I've been having trouble breathing for several months meaning I haven't been able to exercise. Also, the medications make my face swell a bit. I look heavier than I am but breathing is more important than looking thinner. 


I hope you enjoy this message. If I'm still alive when you find this, please look for me and contact me. I didn't leave you. I have never stopped loving you.
