us owe him thanks for trying to teach us how to be good men. he
led us by example...thank you dad,,,for who you were..
Daddy,. Thank you for helping to clear up the mess last month..a check arrived right when mom needed it most..saved the day you did...further proof that you are watching over mom and us...and always have been. Without that money she would have been in a bad way financially. It came out of the blue when she needed.it most...thank you pops..still watching her I can feel it...see you soon big bastard....this place has worn me out... But knowing what to do was your thing...and I sure enough need some of that right now...I love you Pop...sleep well...see you soon old man...I miss you. Darren
Well it's been 5yrs. now & not a day goes by that I don't think about you dad. Mom's having a bad time without you, she doesn't try to do any of the things you might remember her doing for you or with you. She nolonger talks to anyone her depression is very high. I told you I would always be there for mom, i made you a promise on the night before you left us, you and I had a long talk, I told you I would always take care of her, I'm doing my best at keeping that promise, we miss you every day of every week of every year. There's days I wonder if I'm going to be able to keep my word. Then I relieze that my word is all I have now. No matter how bad it gets I will always take care of mom like you asked me to. I think I miss you more today than yesterday. You will always be in my heart, and in my mind... I love you Dad and I miss you so much.
I loved Uncle Marvin with all my heart. He lived with me before he went in the service, and after he got out. We had a special couch for him and my mother Sylvia was one of his older sisters that had looked out for him. I have so many stories of Marvin from his very first mariage, to him leaving with Maxine to California to live a life I am so proud to know he lived and now to know how loved he was also there.
Marvin when younger, could go into a kitchen that everyone just went and trolled for something to eat and found nothing and could come out with a plate of food that would make everyone scratch their heads, and wonder, where did he find all that food.
I think my Mom had a great deal to do with Marvins morals and being raised. She whooped him with a belt bent over her kitchen counter one time because of a wrong he did. She tore his but up. I have a video of my mom, telling when she did it.....
I have so many stories, I will at times log back in....and post another......
love all....
