Happy Birthday Daddy!

Its your 58th B-day, and we are missing you. Times sure have changed alot since you been gone. I am married now, and Yes I think you would approve. Lil Kim started school, she is in Kindergarten. We have been well. We got a new one , Levi John. Daddy you would be so proud of him. He is a smart little guy. I talked to Mama 2 days ago, she is doing fine but misses you. Seems like we are all lost without you. The family kind of drifted after you left. I know Bubby is keeping you company though. Tell him we love him and cant wait to see you both. Well, Daddy, I gotta get off of here before I start getting too sad, I love you bunches..... Happy Birthday.

Hello Daddy

Well it wouldnt be right if I kept holding all of this in, now would it? Daddy, I felt you with me while I drove home yesterday, Im not sure what you were doing but it sure felt good. I have been going thru the motions and trying to stay focused on the future, ( as you know I finally got married ), Emma Kay is growing like a weed, she loves you Papaw. She talks more about you and Lil John as time goes by. I am so glad you were a good papaw to her. And that she knew what your love felt like , just as me and Kay do. Daddy I am sticking to my word, this year I will have 5 years clean. I can remember like it was yesterday when you told me " honey if you get that one year under your belt , you will have it licked " Well I think I have it licked. I am getting gonna get back to work. I love you Daddy.

Two Twinkling Stars

~~~~~ Two Twinkling Stars ~~~~~~~

I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling star
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.

I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.

I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel,
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel

Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day comes
when I'll finally be with you.

Its getting Lonely

Well, a year has passed....I find it hard to call home cause I expect you or John to answer. I find it hard to listen to music or look at your pictures. Its all too sad Daddy. My drive home from work has not been the same. I actually still cant take 1464 without getting a knot in my stomach..because thats the turn I would always call you at. I find myself listening to Conway and screaming out loud like a crazy person every once in a while....I cant believe all the time that was takin from us. All the things that could have been and should have been. One thing for sure... I know you loved me and I know whatever is good in me came from you Daddy. You will remain a BIG part of me and my life.... I want to be loved by my children as much as you were. Thats when my life will be fulfilled.

hey you!

Well Daddy, it was last year this week that me and Sissy was up there and you and LIl John were fine. That was the best week ever.You looked so good, and John was so happy that your PET scan came back clear.....but we know different now. I realize there are some things you may not like that have happened. I hope you can forgive us all. I am going home in June, I talked to Moma and she seems to feel closer to you when she is in the Church. I am opposite, its the quiet moments, in my car, when I feel you touch my hand or wipe my tears. I LOVE YOU DADDY....please remain by my side and keep my strong Daddy....Tell John his big Sister loves him.

In my heart

He was so proud of his little girl
It was her very first day of school
He walked with her to school that day
And she held his hand all the way
They walked together quiet and sad
A little girl and her loving dad
Into the school her father led
But he almost cried when she said
Daddy, Daddy please don't go
Don't leave me here all alone
I'll miss you if you go away
And I might need you, can't you stay
Little Daughter please don't cry
You'll be okay so dry your eyes
You have our memories in your heart
We're together though we're apart

He sat up front on her wedding day
And cried as his daughter walked away
Later that night he watched her dance
He sat there waiting for his chance
The band started to play their song
Father and daughter danced along
She looked at him and saw a tear
Then leaned and whispered in his ear
Daddy, Daddy I have to go
I hate to leave you all alone
I'll miss you when I go away
But if you need me then I'll stay
Little Daughter I'll be just fine
I'll love you always you are mine
I have our memories in my heart
We're together though we're apart

She came in his room and kissed his head
Then sat next to his hospital bed
He took her hand and held it tight
And wished he had the strength to fight
They sat together quiet and sad
A daughter and her dying dad
He saw the tears she tried to hide
She looked at him and then she cried
Daddy, Daddy please don't go
Don't leave me here all alone
I'll miss you when you go away
I still need you, you have to stay
Little Daughter I love you so
I want to stay but have to go
I'll always be here in your heart
We're together though we're apart
