Was Pawpaw your grandfather?

Growing up in Southern California I was the only one I knew with a "Paw-Paw." It makes me smile when I hear other use the term. The dubya's are the critical part.

Yes and a great one at that. The dubya's were definitely emphasized.It makes me smile if I hear a little kid call their grandpa Paw-paw. After five years I am finally able to smile and not cry.

We called both my grandpas Pawpaw but I never really knew my mom's dad, he died shortly after attending my frist birthday party. I think it is pretty common in the south. Although my husband had a Poopaw and an Opa. His dad is Pa-paw to our nieces, doesn't give me the same warm fuzzies.
