A letter for Poppy
Posted 10 minutes ago
Dad and mom have been Brian's earthly guardian angels, present at all of his surgeries and never leaving for home until they were certain he would be OK. They have cried with us, prayed with us and given us more love and support than you can imagine.
They have unselfishly sacrificed many, many days of their time to watch Brian for us so that I could work a couple of days a week...for several years!! I can only hope I can be somewhat as good a parent to my kids as they have been to me. I'm afraid they set the bar too high!!
And Brian loves them dearly. Whenever we told him that nanny and poppy were coming to visit he would just light up and that great big smile would spread across his face.
Tonight, we explained for the first time how serious dad's situation is. Great big tears formed in his eyes and he just hung his head and let them flow.
After he had composed himself I asked him if there was anything he wanted to say to dad. He wrote dad a letter and I expected he would talk about the times they took him to play miniature golf, or to some of his favorite attractions in Pigeon Forge. But, it was the little things he wrote about, playing cards and board games. Just spending quality time with nanny and poppy.
He just loves knowing they are near.
Dad...mom...you guys are the best! We all love you very much.
"Dear Poppy.
I love you so much and every time I hear about you in the hospital I break down into tears. Some of my most favorite moments were playing cards and games. The best moment was when you got mad, that was so funny.
Poppy...one more thing. If you go to Heaven, please watch over me cause I've been scared. And I pray that you'll be better so we can play cards and watch you get mad.
No matter what happens, don't forget God's always with you and all the prayers are too. And never forget I've always loved you so, so, so much!!
Love,
Your grandson Brian"
