PAWPAW'S  MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS Pawpaw loves Connor! Pawpaw loves Bryson! Pawpaw loves Archer! Connor and Bryson, when you were children, I brought you gifts on every visit. You too were so cute. After hugging me hello, you guys would ask, "Did you being us a present, Pawpaw?" On one of my visits to your house, I brought scooters! Bryson, you were still in a diaper so you got a three wheel scooter while big boy Connor got a two wheeler. Your Mom, Dad and I had a blast watching you learn to ride on the street in front of your home. All my love forever, Pawpaw 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

PAWPAW'S  MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS Pawpaw loves, Connor! Pawpaw loves Bryson! Pawpaw loves Archer! This is Connor riding Pawpaw like a horse. Your parents had gone away for a vacation. They brought you to Tom and my house and left you to stay with us. We were so happy to have our little buddy with us.  At the time, our home was in a gated community. We had two hot tubs at our house plus the clubhouse had a huge swimming pool. We took you to playgrounds and the swimming pool and enjoyed every moment with you. Love you always, Pawpaw Always know that Pawpaw didn't leave you. I was banned from seeing you in 2020. I hope you find these messages when you are a grown man. If I'm still alive, I would love to see you again.

PAWPAW'S  MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 43 I've got a hole in my butt! That dog bit me! By Steven Skelley I was not old enough to be in Kindergarten so I must have been three or four years old. Dad decided to take me and my brother Skip for a walk - just the guys. Skip is seven years older than I am so he would have been ten or eleven. For some reason that I don't remember, we didn't walk on the sidewalk. We walked right on the street itself. Dad was on my left and Skip was on my right. They each held one of my hands. I felt completely safe with these two big guys surrounding me.  I was safe like a little prince in a castle - until the dog came running at us, barking and growling. It had jumped off the front porch of a house where a woman sat. She called to the dog and yelled, "He won't bite," to us. She was mistaken. Dad reached down and started to lift me to safety when the dog reached us and bit me right on my bottom. I screamed. I don't remember much af
