Papaw's Demise
You died twenty years ago today.
On February 7, 1998, you passed away.
You were born in 1910 and died at age of eighty-seven.
Twenty years ago, you left this Earth and went to Heaven.
You became a widower in 1957 and had your kids to finish raising.
You finished raising your kids by yourself and that was amazing.
When you died, it was something that I hated.
You were my Papaw and you were appreciated.
