This book is written in memory of my late grandfather David Homer Lee McGee, my Papa.
Today I went by your grave. It still doesn’t seem right that you’ve been gone for almost 10 years. It still causes physical pain to not be able to hear you talk or laugh. To think about your body being in a grave. I can see your smile in my mind like it was yesterday. There aren’t many days when my heart doesn’t hurt because you’re not here. I miss our talks. I miss you.
Thank you for never letting me outgrow your lap, for letting me do horrible things to your hair in the name of love, for tickling my back until I fell asleep, for taking care of me when I was sick, for walks to the creek in the summer, for telling me carrots were good for me...that they’d make me pretty, for telling me I could do anything I wanted to do if I tried hard enough, for making me feel like the most special girl in the whole world.
I wish you were here for this.

This book is also dedicated to all of the men and women who selflessly serve our nation in the United States Military.
