PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 99 - A message for Connor Rudolph
****Pawpaw will always love his buddy-pals Connor, Bryson and Archer!****
To my Buddy-pal, Connor,
This is a special message to you, Connor, I haven't been allowed to see you or speak to you since you were 9 years old. You'll be 13 this June. Luckily, someone saw news of you and shared it with me. Pawpaw is so very happy to hear that you are a musician! You play trumpet, recorder, drums and piano! Bravo!
I am also a musician. I am so delighted to learn that the art and joy of music is in your heart too. Do you remember that we used to sing a bedtime song together? I had composed that very lullabye for your Mom when she was a baby. I sang to her every night of her childgood. "Goodnight. Goodnight. Sleep well my little angel. I love you. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight. Goodnight. Sleep well my little angel. I love you. I love you. Goodnight."
One year, I brought you and Bryson a CD of my song CHRISTMAS LOVE. You two would ask me to play "Pawpaw's song" over and over again in the car.
When I was just 17 years old, I composed this song, "JUST YOU AND ME."
I hope that you have a wonderful music journey using your many talents. You have always had a beautiful and caring heart and spirit. You will create beautiful and soulful music, Connor.
Pawpaw loves and misses you more than you could ever know.
Please know that I did not abandon you, Bryson and Archer. My husband and I were no longer welcome at your home. My heart will always be broken over this.
Go, young man. Enjoy life. Share your beautiful heart and change your world for the better. Pawpaw will always be rooting for you from either earth or heaven.
I love you.
