Pepaw...I know you're in a better place

Steve's Pepaw, Ronnie Helms, died yesterday. When I got the phone call I thought I was having a nightmare, but I wasnt sleeping! I said what, a thousand times and then my thougths to how I was going to tell Steve. Pepaw was more like his dad than his grandfather and I know its going to tear him up. I ran to tami's because at that moment, I had no clue what else to do. I made the necessary calls and wrote the necessary emails to get in touch with Steve. He called at 1:35 am. Telling him that one of the most important people in his life had passed away was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Hearing his voice quiver made my heart break. I will miss Pepaw, I loved him as much as Steve. I know that Steve will have a grieving process, and its going to be tough. I love you Pepaw and I will take care of Steve for you. I love him with all my heart and know that he loved you. Steve will be home as soon as he can, however, its not soon enough. I love you Steve, and I will be by your side thru the rough times ahead. For so long now you have had my back, now, I'm going to have yours!! I know Pepaw is in a better place and he isnt in pain anymore. Still I cant believe this is happening. Rest in Peace Pepaw, we love you!!!
