This is Pa-Pa! We pronounced it "paw-paw" and we loved this man vvvvvery much! I got this picture a few days ago from my sweet cousin Marti, whose sister is his arms. I'm the other toddler! The one with the red and yellow striped shirt. Pa-Pa passed away when I was a freshman in college, 1991. He was my dad's dad. He and my grandmother, "Granny Slaughter" lived in Conyers on a small farm that was a little piece of heaven to us 9 grandchildren. We had the time of our lives there! Every Sunday, we ate lunch with my mother's side of the family, and then about 4:00, we would make the drive to Conyers to be with my father's side for dinner and cousin fun. I don't think we missed a Sunday! If we did, it was rare. I could ramble on and on about why this grandfather of mine has part of my heart, responsible for many of my memories, and left a huge legacy to our family. But perhaps the sweetest thing I get to remember on a daily basis is that his nickname was "Red." In fact, to most of his friends, and anyone for that matter, they never knew his real name. He was Red Slaughter. And it's because he had red hair! So for those of you who have said to us, "Where'd they get that red hair?" I can tell you it goes way back! I used to wonder myself, since it wasn't mine or Daniel's hair color. It wasn't even my parents, or his parents, or even our sibling's. It's from Pa-Pa. His real name was Theodore Mateson Slaughter, T.M. for short, but Red for all. By the way, Cameron's middle name is Theodore! I love you, Pa-Pa! Thank you Marti for this flashback! Love you, too!
