I cuddle with him. I rattle his hands. I love on him. I take him wherever I go But one day I left and he falls off my bed. I look and look, I cry and cry. A week later I find him under my bed.

My Grandpa Papa, he worked at the Air Force Academy in the deli. My Grandpa Papa, he was lovely. My Grandpa Papa, he was kind. My Grandpa Papa, he was generous. My Grandpa Papa, he was laughing. My Grandpa Papa, he was playful. My Grandpa Papa, he loved food!

I admire my brother. He plays video games with me. He relishes the same superheros I do. Andrew is goofy all of the time. He takes care of me.
