PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 3
Connor –
Pawpaw loves you!
Bryson –
Pawpaw loves you!
Archer –
Pawpaw loves you!
The last
time that your Mom and Dad allowed me to visit, Connor was 8. Bryson was almost
6. Archer, you hadn’t been born yet. I had no idea that I would not be allowed
to see you again.
Do you
remember that I am a musician and songwriter? One of my songs is called
“Christmas Love.” When I would visit, you would ask me to play it in the car
over and over again. The youtube music video has photos of you two in it. https://youtu.be/9_2bkPyFefI
I’ve always
loved music. My Mom played music in our home all the time and we all sang along
to the songs on the radio in the car. When I was a teenager, I taught myself to
play guitar and began writing songs within months. Eventually, some of my songs
began being played on the radio. Your Mom and I would scream when we’d hear my
songs come on the radio. We were so happy.
I wrote
Christmas Love about a Christmas Eve party my family had when I was a young
teenager. Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, Aunts and Uncles and cousins all
gathered together at my Aunt’s home. It was a wonderful celebration filled with
family love on a cold,
We had no
idea that Grandpa McWilliams would pass away on Christmas morning. The only
good thing is that we all have wonderful memories of our last night with him.
Here’s my
song.
CHRISTMAS
LOVE

Skelley
Christmas
memories take me to a special place
Gram and
Grampa sitting by the fireplace
Happy family
smiles on every face
Everyone
filled with Christmas love
Christmas
love from above
Please fill
us up Christmas love
Like years
before open the door
Fill us up
once more Christmas love
Children
praying for a morning snow
Couples
kissing ‘neath the mistletoe
Happy music
playing on the radio
Everyone
filled with Christmas love
Christmas
love from above
Please fill
us up Christmas love
Like years
before open the door
Fill us up
once more Christmas love
Lost loved
ones will never be replaced
I remember
every single face
Christmas
memories take me to a special place
Everyone
filled with Christmas love
Christmas
love from above
Please fill
us up Christmas love
Like years
before open the door
Fill us up
once more Christmas love
