Edgar Eugene "Jobe" Hawk
RIP 04-20-2012
I consider myself very lucky. I have gone twenty eight years on this planet with all of my grandparents still with me. Most of my friends have already lost loved ones in their lives. I have lost loved ones in the past, but it had been a while since I had seen them. My grandfather was just smiling at me the day before he passed. I am so thankful that I made it up there to the hospital to check on him. There was alot I did not know about him, and quite odd, no one knows where the nickname "Jobe" originated from. I respect that aura of mystery because we may never know where that name came from. I'll bet he was laughing at us all talking about it and asking everyone and anyone where this name came from. One thing that really made an impact on me was finding out one of the most important things to him was family. He'd always want us all together. That is why I am so happy I was able to see him. I told him, "I'm back home Grandpa, and I am never leaving." This is where I belong. He smiled when he found out I had a job already. All I can say is that I hope one day I can have a family of my own, and be half of the wonderful father and grandfather he was. Maybe I'll find the right person someday, maybe not. Maybe I already did, and it passed by me? Who knows. I wasn't the outdoorsmen like my brothers and cousins, but he still loved me anyway. I will miss you papa. I love you, and I will see you again one day!
