Dad, It's hard to fathom that 14 years has gone by so fast. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I Miss your presence, however I am comforted by the fact that you live forever in my heart! I Love and Miss You. #yourbloodrunsthroughmyveins # 1 Son

Dad, It's hard to fathom that 12 years have come and gone. A lot has changed. Thanks for equipping me with the necessary skills to navigate through the changing times. So many have joined "The Council" ! Rest assured "Chicken Dirty Redds" and I are holding down the fort as the Duly Appointed Matriarch and Patriarch. Continue to speak to All of Us as you watch over us. As you so eloquently stated "Sometimes you have to play the hand you were dealt" as we continue this Journey...

It's been awhile since, I shared my thoughts and feelings... So I'll just say, I miss our FCN time and just my ability to pick up the phone and hear "JB"! Continue to whisper in my ear when I need it most. NO REGRETS. Love Ya Gdad Sarge Forever your JB

Thinking of you today as June has been a season of letting go! Tomorrow on the 2nd is when our hearts skipped a beat. . I did everything you asked me to do and even put up a good fight! Winners don´t win they just let go! Remembering that conversation with you my own dad never had with me is still fresh in my mind. Thanks for the talk which I will always remember! I am the woman I am today because of it. Wish I had more time with you. However, I thank God for the moments he spared. ...

Dad, Today is Thursday June 2nd, just like it was 11 years ago when you transitioned. How ironic, I find myself in the same thought process that I did exactly 11 years ago, Reflecting! A lot has changed, yet a lot has stayed the same. Continue to watch over and guide me as I am now the Patriarch. I Love and Miss You, # 1 Son

Dad,
As I sit here and reflect, it's hard to believe that Ten Years has past so quickly. There is not a day that passes that I don't think of you. I miss our conversations, and our spending time together. Most of all "I Miss You !"

I "Thank You" for ALL the Memories and Life Lessons. Continue to speak to me as I am along this Journey.

I Love and Miss You...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. It was an honor to meet you. That call we had will always be in my heart!

Four years ago today, I got that early morning phone call. I will always remember Thursday June 2, 2011. When I answered the phone, trying to maintain a calm voice, she said to me "I think you need to come quickly !" (As if I couldn't detect something wrong in one of my parent's voice)

I hung up the phone, got dressed and everything else was muscle memory just as I was taught in the Academy. I remembered getting into my vehicle and turning on my headlights and flashers as I...

Happy Fathers Day Dad !

It's been three years since you physically left me, but I feel your presence everyday...

I miss our one on one time together... Thank you for stopping by and checking in on me. I can feel your spirit, and hear your voice saying;"Keep Moving Forward"... Trust Me, I AM !

Love You Man !
