On July 14th, 2009 Ted Mcgill (britney’s grandfather) passed away. He died at the age of 84. Pappaw as he was called in the family was a wonderful person. He was so kind and thoughtful. Always gave lots of hugs. He had a wonderful sense of humor. Even in the hospital he was still cracking jokes. I am SO very thankful that he was able to meet our sweet little girl Lillian. She adored Pappaw. Her favorite thing he did was clap. I think that’s how she learned how to do it. Dave and I were so honored and touched that Pappaw wanted Lillian’s picture in his casket with him. The other great grandkids Ellie, James and Hailey all have their picture in Pappaw’s casket as well. It is so touching to know Pappaw loved his great grandkids that much.
Pappaw
It is always so hard to lose a loved one. You miss them so much and there is always that little bit of emptiness where that person should be. The family has found comfort knowing that Pappaw is in a much better place and has a healthy body. We will see him again one day. The Lord has probably met with Pappaw and said “well done good and faithful servant well done”. I hope and pray that the Lord says the same to me. For that will be my great reward.
