In Memory of....


I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would update you on what's going on with us. We just spent the weekend in Victoria, B.C where I got to spend a few last moments with my Papa before he died. I have never lost anyone close to me before and it was extremely hard to see him slowly dying. He had a stroke and was pretty much gone when we got there. I have never felt such grief. It was a deep sadness and I couldn't stop the tears. In the end I was comforted by the fact that I have a testimony and I know without a doubt that I will see him again. We are going back to Victoria again this weekend for the memorial. I am just so glad I was able to be there to support my Nana and tell my oldest dearest friend how much I love him. I really wanted a picture to post of him but the man I saw was not who I remembered. Instead I am going to get an old picture and then post some more of the people and places my Papa loved. David Champion Smart will be greatly missed!
