dedicated to my grandfather and father figure Retired Sgt. Maj. Bobby K. Edwards you will always be loved remembered and missed....
let me curl up next to you one more time and lay my head on your chest like i did when i was but a small babe...let me snuggle closely and rubbing your face right after you shave and smell the old spice let but kiss your balding head once more while you nap in your recliner...let us walk in the pasture and pick wild berries for grams...just once more lets do all these things before you leave hold me by my feet as you did when i was just a baby learning to strengthen my legs to stand on my own for surely this is more than i can handle...you are leaving me for good this time...you are the first man i ever learned to trust...you are the father figure of my life you gave me all my values in life old fashions values, you have taught me what love is by example and now your time is coming to an end and a large piece of me will go with you....but you are immortal for you live on thru me and my children and their children they shall hear of your deeds and always know what a great man you were...I love you Gramps
