If I knew it was going to be the last time, I would have said it better. I do not know that you could hear me, but I am sure you already knew. But I loved you as my Baba and I will miss you being around. I would give anything to hear you say my name once again , or just to see you smile when I would visit you. I know that you will always still be here with us and I thank you. "Bye Baba, take care" - Posted by: Kenny (Family) on: Mar 13, 2005
