I do not know even where to begin. I will just start when we found each other via Facebook in 2010. I had a strong urge to locate my siblings, and in that search we found each other. Although I grew up with stories of why you were not in my life, I always was hopeful that they were not true. So when we talked and I heard your version, I had a choice to make. I know you tried to locate us and my mom made it hard, but you also apologized and admitted that you could have done more. I chose to get to know you. Now, I sit here apologizing and wishing I could have seen you more. But I do not regret the time we did have to get to know each other and love each other. I appreciate you making the visit to see me, Tam, and Wayne and our kids. I will never forget that time we spent together. My baby girl used to be upset because she said she didn't have a grandfather, so when I told her I found you, at 6 years old, she let everyone know she had a granddaddy. I miss you and love you so much and can barely type this without crying. So I will end this tribute with I thank you for being in my life, for never forgetting about me, for always believing in me, for never judging me, for thinking I am your beautiful baby girl, and for loving me and all these kids over here. Rest peacefully daddy. With love always.
