My Father is the best man I've ever known. He was the funniest, kindest and most sincere individual I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. To call him daddy is an honor. Anyone can be a father. It takes a real man to be a daddy.
I am not his biological daughter, but this man raised me from the time I was a year old and he was so proud to do so. He is the only daddy I've ever known. Every childhood memory I have is filled with his smiles and laughter. My world will never be the same without him.
I miss you so much it hurts!
It was true love between you and I from the first time I met you when you worked at Aamaco and worked on my car. We started hanging out from then on out. You called yourself J.J. then. One evening sitting in the parking lot of your work place after hours if I wanted to know what made JJ JJ..and I had no idea what you would bring out. You came back with your Bible. That was it for me. I felt like you were the one for me.
We had so many many good times together and a few bads ones but we grew up together. You actually tried to change your bad habits for me like drinking for me. Not so with the other women. I believed in you and knew you could do so much better with your life. You were my protector. You took such good care of me when my health finally got to getting worse.
We raised a child together and even though she wasn't your biological child she may as well have been since she was only a 2 or 3 at the time. And we raised her together till she left home at 18 years old. She never stopped thinking of you as her Dad. We both still cared about you very much.
Your biological daughter has totally ignored us in the obituary in the home paper and for your actual funeral like the last 19 years of our life never happened. She creamated you and it tore my heart apart!!!! I so wanted to come see you one last time to be able to say goodbye to you.
We even had been talking together since a week ago yesterday. You called me the morning the day you died. You had been wanting to get back together. You cried and begged me to come home. You kept telling me you loved me. I have cried for 3 days since I learned you passed away!!!!! Everyone seems against me going to the Memorial Service your daughter has put on. I needed that closure and I wanted to come home for this last thing for you that you asked me to do....
My memories of you are overflowing my memory banks, Jerome. I still have dreams of you even though we had been divorced for 5 years...that is why I got in touch with you that Friday which began us talking again. The dreams had never stopped during those 5 years we were apart.
I am just glad you will get to see your Mom & Dad again whom you loved very much. I do hope you are in heaven where I can see you again one day myself!!! Jamie & I will miss you always!!!
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams
Take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
They can say what they want now that you're gone, but it'll never change the time we spent together or even a tiny measure of the memories we created. You are blessing. May God hold you and keep you safe until we can see one another again.
I love you daddy!
