Gestures
My Papa,
I will always remember you;
as a man who was amazing with numbers, who knew how much (to the penny) you had in your OTB account; for always having a pen and a pair of glasses in your pocket; for birthday envelopes; for eating more Freighoffer’s cookies than we ever thought possible (with 3 to 9 boxes in the freezer at all times); for wearing the best sweaters (and sunglasses); as an incredibly strong, and stubborn man; as a diehard Boston Red Sox fan; as a talented golfer; as a man who always finished his glass of milk; as taking your sugar with a splash of coffee; as an incredible Papa.
God gave you an amazing life; you are missed and loved by so many; but He has taken you home.
I know that my stubbornness and sweet tooth come from you. Until we meet again, I love you, Papa *smack*smack*
