1. I have to buy my own peanut butter now. 12 jars at a time.

2. I have to find a new financial adviser. That I might actually have to pay.

3. Waking up is terrible. My brain goes: “It’s light out. Hi kitties. What time is it? Oh, my grandpa died. That really sucks.”

4. Sneaky tears. I saw a bag of Brazil Nuts in the store and lost it. His handwriting is suddenly on all of my possessions, and his picture on all of my walls.

5. Despite how I am about weddings, I always kinda thought he would walk me down the aisle.

6. I needed directions yesterday and it took three people to answer my question. Thus taking three people to fill Papa’s shoes.

7. Yesterday my grandma says to me, ‘You can still call and talk about sports. I always tried to keep up with you two.’ I will never recover from that.

8. He was the only man in my family to take any interest in me and to take me seriously.

9. He was the only person to be constantly impressed by all the parties I went to. Like two a month.

10. My kids will never get to hear the good morning song sung by the inventor of the good morning song. “Good morning! Good morning! It’s time to rise and shine! Good morning! Good morning! It’s time to rise and shine!” And being annoyed and giggling at the same time.
