Popsy Day

It has been a year of firsts for me and Jim. Some amazing and some not so good. You see, Jim's dad passed away, after a valiant fight against cancer, in January. So, as we celebrated Brady's first smile we also cried through the first Father's Day without Popsy.

Yesterday was Popsy's birthday and while we took time to celebrate his wonderful life, we couldn't help but be overwhelmed by sadness that he isn't here with us - in person. I truly believe Popsy is here with us and is looking over Jim with such pride. Jim is the most amazing husband and father that I could ever imagine and I completely attribute that to the wonderful example that he had in Popsy. It breaks my heart that Brady will never get to meet him but I know that Brady has the most amazing guardian angel looking out for him.

We love and miss you, Popsy.

  1. Mr. Shipe was so great. He will continue to be missed by so many people.

    You all have so many wonderful stories to share about Popsy with Brady, he'll feel like he really did know him.

    These are absolutely beautiful pictures.
