Should Have Seen It In Color.

"Go rest  high on that mountain, son your work on earth is done.. Go to heaven  a shoutin for the father and the son. Oh how we cried the day you left us. We gathered round your grave to grieve, wish I could see the angles faces,when they hear your sweet voice sing."

Sorry I stole this title of this post from  a song,but it fit this blog.  The lyrics that I posted up top of the page here sums my  Grandfather (or as I always called him  PawPaw) up like no other.  You know as I wrote my last post called " The Lost Of A Great Man" I keep thinking  to my self that this all feels like a dream. Kinda like any minuet now I was gonna wake up and  see him setting on his old blue rocking chair. As I woke up today that wasn't the case,and in fact that will never be the case again.

When I woke this morning I felt like I seen everything in black and white. I felt like my life was a movie  that had no color.  Now as I am here writing this blog to you all, I am also here on the couch looking at these photos from back when.

As, I look at these photos in this old shoe box,a movie projector  is playing over in my mind, of my family and my grandfather  and those memories that they bring back. As people look at these photos you can imagine how nice those memories are, the best thing is I got to see those photos  in color.

I got to live those memories,  I got to see them in a way that no one else did, which is something that no one can ever take away from me.

So, where everyone looks and sees those photos  as just a memory,I have and always will see those  memories in color. 

Those memories are something that will  be with me forever.   Those memories are the best presents that I could have ever gotten.

If there is one lesson  that I could ever give to anyone it's take life and live those memories in color, and not just in black in white although those memories are amazing as well,it's better in color AND also remember  that those memories that you have are something that  nobody can ever take away.


"This is a memorial to my grandfather.  PawPaw, I am taking those memories that  I made with you and the family and seeing them in color".
