Papa Tim

We have had many changes in our lives this year.  One of the saddest was letting Papa Tim go.  At the end of May, Papa lost his battle with cancer and God called him to rest.  He was only 53.  My kids have had a hard time with this.  They LOVED their papa and loved going to see him at the farm.  

Last Friday was the Dash for Life in Topeka.  This was an amazing event.  It was a memorial/fundraiser for Midland Hospice Care and we are grateful for them.  They had a candle burning for Papa and the kids were able to write a note for him on the sidewalk.   I was shocked at all of the activities they had for the kids.  Bouncy houses, face paint, goodie bags, balloons and other little games.  My kids had a ball.  

One of the best parts & our favorite was the butterfly release.  They handed out butterflies so that you could release them in honor of your loved ones.  

                                     Holding their butterflies, getting ready to let them go.  

                                             Our niece, Tyler's butterfly didn't want to go.

We love you dearly Papa Tim & miss you more than we could ever share.  May you rest in peace!!
