Pawpaw's Diary: Messages to my grandsons 112

 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.

PAWPAW'S DIARY: MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 110 - Connor's 14th birthday

I know that this message is already 12 days late. It's not because I forgot. It's not because I don't love you, Connor. It's because I really miss you and thinking that I've missed another year with you and breaks my heart. On happier note, I wanted to sing Happy Birthday to you. Pawpaw loves you now and forever.

PAWPAW'S DIARY: MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 109 - May 2026

PAWPAW'S DIARY: MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 109 - May 2026


I cannot believe that it is nearly the end of May, 2026. This year has flown by. I did manage a 4 day visit to Ohio to visit my brother (your Uncle Skip) in January. He and his wife Barb are beautiful people. I wish you had known them.


This year has been very hard on my husband Tom. He was in terrible pain in January when I returned from Ohio. I took him to the hospital and they discovered he'd fractured his left hip all the way across.  Then the fracture came apart and the hip was in two pieces 1 inch apart. He had to be transferred to another hospital where there was a Trauma Surgeon that could screw the hip back together, Tom spent over a month in the hospital and a rehab facility.

About two weeks after he got home, the screws all broke and his hip came apart again. The surgeon took the broken screws out, installed three new 6 inch screws and a plate to hold Tom's hip together. Then Tom spent another month in the hospital and the rehab facility.






It's the end of May and he's barely able to use a walker and walk to the end of our driveway and back. 

Do you guys remember him? He was there for your births, Connor and Bryson. He rented your Mom her first home on her own when your Dad was in college. He held you in his arms many times as babies. Your parents would leave you with us when they went away on vacations. We loved every moment with you.

I love you and miss you all very much. I hope that you find these messages online and contact me when you are over the age of 18. I would love to see you again.

Love you forever,

Pawpaw


Yes, I look like Santa Claus now :0)
