We had the service for my grandfather yesterday and today we put him to rest in the ground beside my grandmother.
We know that all we are doing is laying to rest an empty body, his soul is now in Heaven... but it is difficult.
Having served in the Navy, he was buried with military honors and a flag draped coffin. A hero that we all looked up to is now gone.
I am so thankful that Paw Paw loved this country and was willing to serve to defend our liberty.
I am thankful for the men who volunteer to provide military honors to those men and woman who have bravely served.
I am thankful to have not one, but two heroes as grandfathers. One who is still alive and well at the age of 94, the other now safely tucked away in Heaven.
Thank you again so much for your prayers, love, and support during this week.
Much love to you all.
My gramps on my Dad's side was called Paw Paw. I've always been rather fond of the name.
