It just doesn't feel real daddy.. I can't imagine this thing called life without you. This is a pill hard to swallow & I know u always told me I must stay strong & it's my job to take care of my sisters and mom. I'm doing that the best I can. I'm afraid to cry because I don't want to let you down. Your the best father anyone can ask for.. Your the strongest man I will even know. You have done & survive the most craziest obstacles no one else will be able too. But now it's your time to relax with no worries. The babies were telling some of their memories about you and man were we laughing .. WE LOVE YOU POP DUKES
