our dad
I treasure every moment I had with my dad, He was a huge influence in my life and forever will be .. He use to tell me how much i reminded him of those of his past, my imagination, creativity, my love to just live life and enjoy people.. He never judged me for my diversity and always promoted me to just be happy with what ever i chose to do ... we had our ups and downs, but we always made sure we made things right, him and i refuse to hold grudges. He was so easy to talk to, I miss him a lot already... my dad was huge into music, card and dice games , it was his way to have time with us i think in a sense with all our hectic lives, we always made time to play some dice or cards.. He loved fishing, something he did with all of us girls and something i now enjoy with my children.. My son has his middle name and i wish he could of met Hunter, he reminds me a lot of daddy.. He was a great father, grandfather and he was a wonderful friend to all.. Dads humor will be the most i miss, i guess thats where i got mine from. In later years when his health got worse, and we had a few scares, daddy and i talked , he knew i would support any decision he would make regarding his health, he understands why i was not there with him , it always broke his heart to see us girls hurting or crying, and i couldnt do that to him.. i wanted him to go with a peaceful and loving memory of me, and that he did . thursday i got to talk to him and tell him that I loved him.. I know he knew i loved him, but i wanted him to hear it ..I got the news abruptly and it didnt register til i called my baby sister Georgia up, just the hurt in her voice was enough validation I needed, I cant help but feel sad for the lose, but I rejoice the life he lived , i love every moment we had, every lesson he did teach. I love you Daddy...Jo
