Big Shoes to Fill

by Joseph Paul
First of all let me start off by saying I miss you Pop. I lived next to you for so long that I know I could make this letter into a book. I just want to let you know that all the fishing trips, the trips to Pensacola-just all the time spent period was needed and was very much appreciated. I needed that time from a father figure and that is what you are to me. You are my painted picture of a perfect father. Hopefully I can walk in your shoes in that field and be the best father to my kids I can possibly be.

My fondest memory of Pop is when not too long ago, I was teasing him about crying all the time about Mama Sarah. When we had a memorial service for her I broke down and started crying worse than I had ever seen him cry! Pop is very interesting and he makes me proud every time I think if him. He is very wise and I appreciate all the time that I have spent with him. I have put in a lot of time with Pop. I love you Pop and I’ll holla at you later. I hope to see you soon.
