Papa

John's grandfather, Papa, passed away a couple of weeks ago so we headed over to the ranch to spend time with the family and celebrate Papa's life. He was a great man who lived life with joy all the way until the end. It made me tear up when Jack looked for Papa around Grammie's house. He pointed to the chair, "Papa's chair" then ran into the room and looked around for Papa again. I know Jack will be raised with the many great stories about Papa, and I can only hope he can live life with as much zeal for life as Papa had.
His funeral was a true celebration of his life.
 
 After the funeral, we all went over to Aunt Sharon's to hang out as a family just like Papa would've wanted.
 The rest of the weekend was spent being outside on the ranch. Again, just like Papa would've wanted.
 No trip is complete without watermelon.
 Driving the "MU"
 Feeding the cows "Coobs"
 Searching for rocks
Papa, you will be missed. You were a great man.
