James Frederick "Duke" Nottage Jr.

Hey Daddy, haven't been here in a while, so much has been going on, i honestly don't know where to start. I have a Daughter now! Her name is Kailee she's so precious, i wish you had the opportunity to meet her, she reminds me so much of mommy, and i know how much you loved mommy. Its been Three years since She passed i miss her so much. I always find comfort in knowing that you two are in a better place now, no pain, no sickness. Becoming a father taught me so much things, and all i can say is I UNDERSTAND everything. i really wish you were here to guide me through this journey, its hard, but i have your blood running through my veins so i wont give up. I really miss you, its so hard to understand that your gone and mommy's gone too, I feel so alone at times. My girlfriend comforts me so much i really appreciate her, its like she came into my life at the perfect time, i love her and Kailee so much, they give my life purpose, and fulfillment. I go hard everyday knowing that you and mommy are looking down at me proudly, till we meet again Pop, i love you.
