Papaw's lights...

This past week, my Papaw was put on the news for his Christmas light display...this is going to be his final year of doing the tradition simply because it is way too much work for him to manage and he is getting older. We all chipped in to help out this year and it meant more to me since I am the one who kindly asked if he would do it one last time for all of us...especially for my nephews who needed this memory. He had not put them up since 2004 because of health issues. Those of you who know me best can imagine I cried my eyes out seeing the lights and helping because it has always meant the world to me. He is one of the greatest men in the world in my opinion and I love him very much. I can't write anymore...I will start crying again...dang it!!

Sidenote: We have all laughed because in the segment he talks about his "Angina attacks" (a heart condition that causes sharp heart pains). You can use your imagination at how that can just sound so wrong...it made the crying a bit easier. It was a bit childish to laugh at but it was worth it. Bless his heart...literally.
