and even through all the years im broken and mourning without you to go i am truly grateful for the lifetime i spent with you in my life. its been nearly a year without your presence and i feel as if i still have you with me forever. everyday your spirit has been lifting my own to carry on without you. i know your there with me. i feel you all the time. we may not be able to talk to eachother but something tells me your still supporting me even in the dark, your still guiding me through my life stepping stones and rooting for me when i struggle or feel like im losing strength or in need of support from you. i cry everyday for you but i know that you are not coming home and i have to allow myself to do what i need to do and he better than i am today tomorrow. i promised you i would and could do better than what i was doing and im proud saying that i am. daddy im so much better now than i was. im really trying SO HARD to keep my sanity and continue to show you the right way to do everything youve taught me and told me i was capable of. im sorry i doubted you or if i made you feel like all your efforts in trying to make me believe in you was useless or didnt mean anything to me. it meant the most, the fucking most to someone that didnt get to receive what they needed. i needed you. you were my hero, dad. you saved me from so much. you were my rock. you were one of my favorite people ever. you loved me so much and it showed me how much i really needed to change or see myself again to make different decisions and better choices to make myself improvements. you showed me the right love and path beyond the boundaries i am passing through; past all the pain & misery ive felt inside, there is a world full of possibilities.. & dad im sorry for not knowing that you wouldnt be here with me and starting the right path too late for you to be here for it to see me doing good & then maybe youd feel a little better & worry a little less about me. i love u pops 🤍 myLuv4uNevaEnds RIP

you spent years trying to get out of a dark place in your head that you didn’t even realize you never needed to be in. you were absolutely right about everything dad. qll the lessons and things you taught me only showed your potential and care for all of us kids and we loved and appreciated it every step of the process. between tough love and time we were able to spend with you, we shouldve been more focused on the truths you spoke to us on the daily, paid more attention to your stories or lessons than assuming we could or would have another time and place to have another, we shouldve listened to you more, loved you more, kissed you more, talked to you more, respected you more bc you really tried for us with all your heart but we were all just young dumb and stupid. im sorry for tht.

hey old man idk if you get any older up there in heaven but i hope you got a mailbox there or know how many papers i wrote for you tht ill never know if youd ever get to read….i hate how much uncertainty it is to know what you are doing. if you are there, watching over us, if you know whats going on down here or see us when youre in the clouds and so far above us tht were in two different spiritual realms and our worlds no longer exist together.. i hope you knew how loved you were and how hard your death has been to swallow and then trying to live without you feels impossible but i only carry the weight on my chest for you now, dad..

I love you poppy miss you man
