Leaving a legacy...

Last night my PawPaw passed away. After being in a nursing home for many years, he is now walking in heaven with Jesus. I am sure that there is great rejoicing as he has reached his eternal life and has been reunited with the love of his life, my Grandma (whom Makenna "Muriel" was named after). My PawPaw was an amazing man of God. His life was filled with God's blessings! His passion was to preach God's Word! During his early years at the nursing home, my PawPaw kept his mind young by writing a book about his life. What a joy it was to learn more about my heritage and see life through my PawPaw's eyes. I am anxious to share this book with my children. Most of my memories with my PawPaw come from early childhood. My favorites were visiting he and grandma on their farm in southern Texas. My PawPaw was an excellent cook (just like my dad), especially when it came to TexMex and grilling! He was always so patient with us grandkids! He always had a heart to serve others...even up to his last few years in the nursing home. Even though I am sad that my PawPaw has left Earth, I am rejoicing with him as he has finally reached his destination! I know that he lived life to the fullest with Christ in the center! He has left a legacy for generations to come. I love you PawPaw!
