I remember as a kid I would sit on Preston's lap I pulled his beard anytime he tried to talk to talk to anyone and I would say you only talk to me. He never got mad at me. He would always smile. As a kid I would cry and scream I want Preston. I remember he would always say where did u get your earings? I would say Wal-Mart. Then he would ask where did you get your dimple Marie? I would say Wal-Mart. He would smile. I seen him a few months ago and I am 33 now and he never forgot. out of no where he said where did you get your earings Marie? I said Walmart? Then he said where did you get your dimples Marie? I said Walmart. He smiled. He touched my heart. He has always been a dad to me. If I ever needed him he was always there for me. I love u William Preston Thomas. Thank you for everything. You will forever be in my heart. I will miss you
