Papaw and me: some pictures

[nickelsandcoats]

A few pictures of me and Papaw. Pardon the border around some of them--I was too lazy to crop the screencaps.

	The last picture I have of Papaw and me. This was taken on Dec. 24, 2011; he died in May 2011.
	Papaw used to dress up as Santa and give out presents at a local DeMolay party when I was a baby. In this picture, I was no more than two, and was absolutely terrified of Santa (who couldn't talk to me because I'd know it was him). My dad, who's the one holding my arm, finally managed to convince me to go see Santa, who gave me that teddy bear, which I don't have anymore, unfortunately.
	When I was younger, we used to get to walk to the corner store with Papaw and get a pack of those mini-donuts (the ones that 5 little donuts wrapped in cellophane) when we stayed the night at their house. We always went at night just after dinner so we could have the donuts for breakfast. After we walked back home, we would sit on their porch swing and open the donuts. I would have one, and Papaw would have one as his "fee." I'd have the other three for breakfast the next morning. This picture is of a very young me and Papaw on the porch swing after our donut excursion, and I'm feeding him his donut. I love this picture so much--it's just so us.
	At my wedding, Dec. 2007. There for a while, we thought he wouldn't make it to my wedding, but he did, and I was so happy. This is one of my favorite pictures.
