Happy Birthday♡

July 11, 2017
Happy birthday Dad!!!
Missing you so much. It's been 4 years since you've passed. It took four years for me to be able to come to this page. Four years to put reality into writing. That I wish I could hold your hand....instead of a picture.... Some days seem like an eternity...and some days I expect to hear your voice on the phone.

But you raised us to be warriors...and so I smile on this day....your birthday....grateful for you.  Because I would rather have the years I was blessed to be in your presence, than none at all.

And as much as I want you here; I know you made it to the Place you always talked about...the Place you dedicated your life to reaching.... And in that I find happiness....because that is your happiness.
Happy birthday to the greatest dad ever!
Love you beyond the moon...

Wow, its been 4 long yrs since ive seen u in a physical...

But i still know ur here cuz  i feel u in da spiritual...

Da other day i was reminiscin flash backs of da past..

Those days we walked 2 church

Picture us missin mass (laugh)...

 u would take us 2 work

Where u would teach ur class...

We'd ride 2 Lehigh 

Boy does time fly by fast..

Da struggle was real but we made it work...

I think i was  7 wen we vacated New Jerz..

To bethlehem pa

To steubenville   By da burgh

Lifes journeys curvy

brace urself for da turns...

 

Find out ur worth its not wealth here on Earth

i cherrish every moment we shared since my birth..

So many lessons i ve learned

So many question concerns..

just so u know ur lessons were heard..

Precious words n merits u shared

I still cherrish...

n im gonna embrace em til da day that i perish..

But b4 i pass im gonna follow ur path, n pass on that hat 2 Nnmaeka n Zap..

So many blessings 2 earn

Wats faith w/ o works??

We always spoke about heaven

But u made it there 1st...

 

I neva got 2 thank u 4 takin me 2 practice

Or drivin a few hrs to take me 2  matches

Or pushin me 2 get better grades in my classes

Dat scholarship i got was paved by ur Actions...

 
Its been quite a rough challenge

I fell off was slidin...

Tryin 2 keep my life balanced

Please tell God im tryin...

 

I c now its da Lil things 

Dat turn in2 Bigger things...

n i c its da Lil seeds

Dat grow in  bigger dreams...

If wasnt 4 u investin in me

I would have neva saw ur true essence in me..

I could neva fill ur shoes

But i ll be da best i can be...
So hopefully u can  feel proud  lookin down

n c ur reflection in me.. 

 

Luv u Daddy!! ️<img class="CToWUd" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f64f" alt="

MEMORIAL POEM 5/25/16

May 25, 2016

Dad,
its been 3 long yrs
since u went home,
been a lot of tears here
since u left home...
dealt w/ a lot of fears here
on this lonely road...
knew u were near
felt da warmth in my soul...

often i stop n think about u w/o u i feel lost...
but the thought of u pills me thru,
i proudly carry my cross...

ur memory gives me strength
mentally gives me faith 2 keep on goin on,
when i felt weak n wanted 2 break
it was the thought of u that kept me strong...

far from rich but rich,
cuz u were full of mental jewels
n 2 this day i still live
thru those precious rules..

God 1st family 2cnd
n i will never 4get it,
as long as im alive
im 4ever indebted

cuz i could neva pay u back 4 what u did,
the luv n support u gave 2 us
proud 2 be ur kids...

ur grand daughter is next 2 inherit the merits,
ur flesh might have left
but ur soul will never perish...

we ll pass on da message
granddaddys blessings
held deep inside our souls
n that we ll 4ever cherrish...
n i dont have 2 share it cuz ur here n i can feel it,
n i already sense ur presence in  the essence ofzapporahs  spirit.. 

at night when we thank God n pray 4 protection,
we know granddaddys watchin
,
guardin us from heaven!!

We LUV U!!! 

2015 - Memorial poem

May 25, 2015

dear dad,
2 yrs past n im still sad
as i think back
tears still splash...
eyes lookin like smeared glass..
vision blurry
eversince u were buried
ive been dazed since that day in the cemetery...
theres been a spot in my heart 4eva empty
and the weight of my thoughts r very heavy...

but i refuse 2 fall apart
must carry my cross
when times get hard 
gotta  call on God...
4 strength, 
just like u taught me
i feel ur spirit near 
thats how i know that ur watching...

and as u can see
ur grand daughter zapporah
is getting older...
and we're gonna make sure she knows ya...

tonight we prayed 4 ur soul...n opened da scriptures
tears rolled down my eyes as i showed her ur pictures..
but she gonna know her grandfather was special
and his spirit is watching from a heavenly level...

i will try and follow ur footsteps as a father
as we raise our daughter
w faith and honor...

                                                                We luv u!!!!
 

2014 - MEMORIAL POEM- "4ever you"

May 26, 2014

Its been a year since you physically disappeared,
but every day i still feel your spirit near...
every day i pray and shed a tear,
 i awake and see your face in the mirror...

 because i am you and you are me
theres no seperating the two..
we're forever glued.. thats forever true

sometimes i ask myself what will i tell my daughter zapporah, 
your grand-daughter..
wish you were here to hold her, help mold her..

worlds best father....slash professor,
slash author, slash scholar...
soul model, role model
you had so much to offer...

if i could do half of what you did,
it would be an honor...
so on behalf of what you did
and how you lived, i'll try harder..
.  
I PROMISE
 your memory i will keep alive n honor
your footsteps i will try n follow...
like the Lord said
to the apostles in the Gospel...
if u have seen me you have seen the father..
if i live up to your honor
then that i can tell my daughter...

for we are one, father and son..
from the birth til its done..
and we rise like doves
above da clouds like the sun
and join you in Gods love up above

let heaven sing
as we spread our wings..
you're off to better things
placed in that place of grace 
w/ the king of kings

still need you to pray for me,
wanna thank you for everything
you did for me...
metally, physically, spiritually...
the spirit you instilled in me is still in me
now physically i live through you
and you can live through me..

must fulfill my responsibility
that God has given me
to respond to the worlds hostility w/ humility
and pray for my enemies w/ empathy..
i'm still feeding off your energy
i embrace everything u ever said to me
trying to do what you  expect from me
is how i'll respect your memory..


Remembering,
you are forever me... 
as i am forever you...
no matter what they do
they can never seperate the two...
