To the family of our beloved Papa. No he was not blood related to me. In fact, he was not related to me at all. But we crossed paths at a time in my life where I needed a family and most of all I needed someone to take a chance and believe in me and he did just that. My grandparents all passed when I was young and he quickly became the grandpa I never had. It is because of your loved one that I sign this book with my final goodbye as a college graduate and as a mother who made mistakes but I got my family and that is enough. My heart truly breaks as I think of not being able to go see you any more or pick up the phone and hear that contagious laughter on the other end. I know we are not to question God's will but sometimes when he takes someone so precious from this cold hard world it is so hard not too. I know without a doubt though that you earned those angel wings through and through as I was not the only lonely lost soul that you revived and gave back their life. For what you did for me I cannot thank you enough. I don't know how I will go on without having you there in my corner cheering me on letting me know that blood did not matter to you that as far as you were concerned I was your granddaughter. I love you Papa Fly High! I know my mom is already showing you around
