I wish he could have seen me graduate or met my fiancé he would have loved him. I see so much of him in my little sister it is scary, it is like we still have a piece of him with us. Nothing will ever prepare you for that kind of pain. He was taken away from my family too soon. I found out my papaw went to the doctor and was diagnosed with cancer.

I was so upset and worried I did not know what was going to happen. Then I heard a sound I have only heard on TV. It was a loud beep and the worst sound I have ever heard. I knew what that sound meant: my papaw was no longer with us. Something I will always remember about that night is when my papaw died, the curtains in the rooms come open and no one was near them. That day made me believe in angels, they had come to take him to a better
