The lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Larry Dee, this song is for you!

He asked me on a date. So I took my niece and her and I sat in the back seat. We went shopping and out to eat. He was so nice and polite and made us feel special. After a few months. He asked me to move in. I knew it was going to be ok. We went out to eat on weekends and shopping and fishing. We would talk about life and what we wanted next. But getting married was different for us. We both had been married before. He shared so much about life. He taught me about forgiveness and that I need to love myself and that I was this wonderful person with a good heart. Then he let me decorate the trailer and change his wardrobe. Thank goodness for that. So one evening he planned a dinner and I knew it was time. So early 2003. I got down on one knee and propose to him. Asked him to marry me. He said Pam are you crazy. Why would you want to marry me. I said why can't a woman ask a man. You are exactly what God sent me and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So on July 4th 2003 we were married in a small church in dunkirk ind. Surrounded by family and friends. I knew that was the happiest day of our life's. He lost his dad to Alzheimer's. We both lost our mothers in 2015. So he was given his family home in upland Indiana. There we started a new beginning. As time went on he started to get sick and sicker. We moved to an apartment there in upland. Then he retired for the second time. He asked Pam can we please moved to Hartford City so I can be close to my son and my grandchildren and my daughter-in-law. I knew then he was getting sicker. And 2022 New Year's Eve I had to take him to the hospital. Where he was admitted and was a bad sick. A few days later they told me to take him home there was nothing else they could do for him. And my world changed. He went on oxygen full time. On Saturday January 7th 2023. Chasta and Alex and Brendan was coming down to visit. He woke up not feeling good his side was hurting so bad. He kept asking Pam where are they at. So I called her and she said Grandma I'm 5 minutes out I'll be there as soon as I can. When they arrived she took over trying to help him. We decided to call a ambulance and he was taken to the hospital. They told me to start calling his family in to say that goodbyes. My heart was broken and hurting so bad. He suffered a seizure a stroke had sepsis ,covid and his aneurysm had busted in seven places. So I knew that day was going to be the day I lost him. Me Scott and Chasta we're in the room with him when he took his last breath. I just sat there and cried and cried. Gave him a kiss and said you're going to a better place than I will be. I wish God had taken me instead. I knew then God had gave me the best gift of all him. He taught me so much and I was so grateful to God for that. We had 10 wonderful grandchildren. And after his passing I realized. He now has four great-grandchildren that he would be so proud of. His granddaughter he would be absolutely proud of her for the mother that she is. But he was always proud of all his grandchildren no matter what. This year we have three grandsons is going to graduate. I so wish you was here for that. But he will be watching from heaven being the very proud grandpa that he was. So Larry Dee please continue to watch over us. Scott Samantha chasta Jason Serena Kaylee. And You're grandchildren and great grandchildren and me most of all. We will always and forever love you. Thank you God for our memories. Thank you for allowing me to love a man that was so great to me. He was kind loving sweet wonderful. But rotten at the same time. He had a unique ear trick that always made everyone laugh. My grief of losing him has made my heart broken. But someday I hope it gets easier. Losing someone you truly love makes your heart never be the same. He was loved by so many people. He always had a way to smile and make you feel better. Even though you couldn't cook and make silk pies. I still loved you truly, I loved him. My forever Larry Dee. Thank you Glenn poling and Mary Poling for having the most wonderful grateful hearted of a man. You will always be proud of your son Scott. I hope that he knows that. Carmen McKenzie Alexander Keaton Jocelyn Brendan dalen Ava Dax myles always will remember Grandpa loved them so much no matter what. Scott Samantha Chasta Jason Serena and Kaylee. He will always love you. We never fought we just had little spats and that's what I loved about him. Amen I was surely blessed to be loved by Larry Dee Poling. AMEN
