Best Job in the World -- being Paw Paw

What a day I had yesterday... Once again I got to be a little boy and play with trucks and tractors as I had once done. This time was much different than before for this time I am the Paw Paw... and I've got to tell you there's no better feeling or job in the world.

Gage spent the afternoon with me yesterday and he wanted to dig and play in the flower bed I was breaking up. I bet you he moved a 1000 yards or dirt.. hahaha I could help but to think back to my days as a little boy and how I also liked to dig and play with my trucks and tractors in the dirt.

After he played in the dirt for a while we went up to the hospital to feed the ducks at the lake. Went by the dollar store and looked around, went to McDonalds and had ice-cream. For me it was almost like when I would stay with Paw Roberts. He and I would take trips like that. I just feel like somewhere he was watching Gage and me and smiling... thinking about the times we spent together.

Being a Paw Paw has got to be the greatest thing in the world. Having Gage look up at me and smiling means more than he will ever know in my life time. I just hope that some day when he becomes a Paw Paw, he will remember the times we spent together and say "I know now how Paw Paw felt".

I feel like I'm the luckist person on the earth knowing that Gage wants to spend time with me and go places with me.
