Goodbye, Bubba

I know that one of my biggest regrets in life is going to be that you weren’t old enough to get to know your Bubba.  We lost her 5 days before Christmas.  We had known since earlier this year that the cancer was terminal, but it didn’t make it any easier to say goodbye.



In the time before she passed, we got you over to see her as often as we could.  She kept remarking what a good baby you were.  She enjoyed your smiles.  My favorite memory is the day we were over there, and we were all sitting in her TV room with me holding you.  She started adjusting her position - something that was difficult for her sometimes, but once she got situated, she patted her lap and said, “Bring him here”.  She sat talking to you with you cooing and smiling at her.

We’ll miss you, Bubba.


With you at the hospital



Here with your cousins, Maddie and Lily
