Silly Songs

Dear Daddy,

The song "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" came on the radio yesterday, and I remembered that you liked that song.  It also led me to think about a song you used to sing to me when I was little: "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On." I always liked that. I was also just thinking about a little part of a song that you used to sing a ton ... I'm not sure what song it came from, but it went:

"My hair is still curly, and my eyes are still blue ... Why don't you love me like you used to do?"

You used to sing that to be silly when we were picking at you and such.

The other day I showed Tyler a picture of you and him together, and he told me that you were at work.  I wish that were true.  He also said, "I miss Grandaddy," and I told him that I do too.  I know he won't understand for quite a while what has happened, but I'm trying like crazy to keep the memory of you alive in his little mind.

I wish so much that you were here or that we had even had time to prepare for this to happen. I hope to see you again someday in Heaven. I hope you are happy there with Grandma, Lily, and so many other family members that we have lost.

Love you,
Jen
