PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS
Connor, Pawpaw loves you.
Bryson, Pawpaw loves you.
Archer,
Pawpaw loves you.
Connor,
Bryson and Archer,
It has been
more than a year since I was last allowed to see you. Even so, I think about
you every single day. I have never stopped loving you.
Connor and
Bryson, I was with you on the days you were born. I held you in my arms, kissed
your faces and felt love fill my heart as your little fingers wrapped around
one of mine. For the eight years from Connor’s birth, I visited you every month
for four to seven days. Your Mom and Dad left me alone with you so they could
spend time alone. They allowed me to take you two away on Pawpaw Vacations.
Once, I
rented a home in a gated community. The three of us swam in the community pool,
played games together, watched movies and slept together in the same bed – one
of you on each side of me.
Another
time, I rented a condo at Fishermen’s Village above the stores and restaurants.
It had a huge balcony looking over the harbor. If we went to one end, we could
watch the musicians and singers performing for one of the outside restaurants.
We enjoyed the swimming pool too. We loved being together. We played, laughed
and snuggled.
Sometimes
your parents would go away and have me stay at your home with you. I loved
every moment with my two little buddy-pals.
Archer, I
wish I had more memories of you. I was only allowed to see you once. You were
about five months old and your parents let me visit for an hour and a half. I
held you in my arms, kissed your face and you smiled at me.
By the time
you guys find these messages, you will probably be men. It is currently 2021
and you three are nine, six and one. If you are anything now like you were as
children, you are tall, handsome, athletic, loving and intelligent. Pawpaw is
proud of you.
I create
these Messages To My Grandsons because I want you to know your Pawpaw as you
did when you were little children. I want you to know that I did not abandon
you. I spent at least a week every month with you until your parents ended our
relationship.
I would
never leave you, my loves.
Pawpaw
