THE GREATEST MAN I EVER KNEW.. MY POP GENE WILLIAMS..


Today's blog is about a very important man in my life, My grandfather was a strong man who always had a heart of gold, He is someone who could make you smile from ear to ear.. I miss him dearly.... Here is something I wrote for him and read at his funeral...

  You were there when I took my first breath, I was there watching you take last.. As I lay my head down on your chest and listen to heart flutter, I close my eyes and Begin to pray.. Then I began to think about all the beautiful memories that I have in my heart to keep forever. Then I realize this isn't goodbye, Its only the beginning.. He will always be there guiding me in spirit and all the the love he showed me will be there following me in my thoughts and heart..

     As a look around this room, I see a room filled with love, A love that come4s from a wonderful man... My pop!! A man that touched the life's of so many who knew him, he kept his family together no matter what.. he loved his grand kids and was so proud of all us.. I'm so lucky to have so many memories to keep in my heart forever and stories to tell for a life time about the greatest man I ever knew. The memory that I will never forget is when he gave me away. W e stood at the front door he grabbed my hand and said well little girl you ready, I guess your not going to a williams anymore and kissed me on the cheek.

  He was more then my pop he was a father figure in my life, I don't think I could ever do wrong in his eyes, I was his little girl and that's all that mattered.. he was always so strong for us, now its time to be strong for each other. Because he is never gone,He is always and forever in our hearts and our thoughts.. And tho right now are family chain is broken one day when god calls our name,one by one,our family chain will link again..
