Remembering my Papaw

I knew this time would be coming soon. My papaw passed away this morning. I am sad, but happy he is no longer suffering. This is so hard losing my first grandparent. I have been so blessed being able to grow up with all four of my grandparents. My kids were blessed knowing their great-granparents. Not many kids are able to know all four. I just hope Brayden remembers Papaw. We named Brayden after him in a sense. Papaw's name is Thomas Howard Shelton, Sr. but his nickname was Jack. (Don't ask how he got that nickname, cause I couldn't really tell you.) We named our son, Jack Brayden after him. I remember telling Papaw that we were naming him after him and he just smiled. Papaw was not a man of many words, but you knew he loved you. When he did speak he always had a funny comeback that made everyone in the room laugh. We will always remember all the great memories we had with him. We love you and miss you, Papaw!
