Hannah lost it today

Sorry for the two post about death, but this one needs to be said too. Today me and Buffy were discussing death. Somehow my other grandfather's name came up (Paw Paw). My wife said something about Paw Paw dying. Hannah was sitting in her lap at this time. You know how you think kids are not listening to you.

Well we were wrong! Hannah quietly looked up with sad eyes and said "Paw Paw ..died???". I must tell you that this is the name my father goes by. She started crying hysterically. So I had to call my father and let Hannah talk to him. I could hear Dad say "do you want me to come over?" She would shake her head up and down with tears flowing. So dad did come over. All is well in the Hughes house now. The little ones are running around and Buffy is making dinner.

It did get me to thinking though. There will be a time when Paw Paw won't be able to come over. A phone call won't be able to fix it. So we need to cherish the time we have. For we are not promised one more day. Oh how I would like ...One more call to my grandparents, simply to say I love you.

So God will have to send the message. We love you Paw Paw, Granny and Grand daddy!
