Roll Roll Papa passed away quitley in his sleep last night at about 10 pm. It was one of the saddest yet moving experiences I have ever been a part of. I no longer fear death as much as I used to, there was no noise no tremble just peace. In that peace you could feel God and that is were I will draw all my strength to help my husband move on.
Daniel and his Dad had a special relationship. Daniel was the baby and 18 years younger then his youngest sibling. Daniels Mom passed away when he was 9 and it was just him and his Dad. Creating that special bond. His Dad would have done anything for him and last night every time Daniel spoke to him he would take one more breath. I know he wanted to hang on for Daniel and only let go after Daniel told him I will be alright Dad. Thats love. BIG LOVE.
I think we will all be lost for awhile. Especially the girls...for sure Paytin. She really loved her Roll Roll Papa and was the one who gave him that nickname when she was 2. He was her Roley Poley Papa. Watching her grieve for him takes my breath away. I want to take her hurt. I'm so thankful my girls know God, I don't know how else you would get through this. But in spirit he is here...since he has passed so many things have happened and I know its him saying "Hi, I'm here and I'm fine"
We will miss you with all our hearts Papa...don't forget what we talked about for Daniel a little blue never hurt ;)

Bless you all Ashley - It's so, so hard to lose a loved one, no matter how old you are. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers - always in my heart. I hope you can all find some peace now that you know Roll Roll Papa is wrapped in God's arms. Give those girls a big squeeze from me. Sending love.
