I am so very glad I had an opportunity to spend time with you during your last few months. During the years that I've known you, you were always a man of very few words. However, you finally began to talk to me in the last couple of years when I'd call for Mrs. Joycelyn. I am so thankful for those short coversations. Rest in peace.

Daddy,

I picked up the phone to call you to ask if you wanted to come take a ride with me to my office. I know how much you enjoyed riding across the lake and teasing the ladies in the office. I forgot that fast that you were no longer just a phone call away.

My flowers in the front are all dying and its time for me to replant some new annuals. You sat outside with me all early springtime of this year and watched me plant all my flowers. Once again, I forgot you were gone because in my mind I told myself I will go run and get me some more plants for the front yard and than swing by and pick you up to come set outside with me so you can get some fresh air. I forgot again that you were no longer at home for me to just go pick you up. You used to just sat and watch me planting my flowers. Every now and than you would say, “girl your just like your momma with all those flowers all over the place….and you would have the biggest smile on your face when you said it (that little mischievous side ways grin you did).” You would tell me how crazy it was to be planting all those flowers and they were just going to die anyway. Yet, when I would go get you and we would drive up you would always say…”your yard is looking really nice here.” I know you enjoyed watching me and you enjoyed the flowers but you were too much of a MAN to admit you liked it…..so typical of you.

ONE of my fondest memories is you teaching me how to drive on the levee in Boothville setting on your lap. You would place your feet on the paddles because my legs were too short to reach them, but me guiding the wheel. There were many days when you and I came from our little routine ride through Fort Jackson that I was glad you thought that to me. If momma would have known some of the things that occurred, you would not have seem the ago of 70 nor I adulthood. But, those were our little moments.

I know you are in a better place. No more tubes, needles, doctors, etc. When you see “Big Tee Tee”, give her a big hug for me as I miss her as well. Over the years, we spent a lot of time together. I truly understood you....you were my daddy. It used to make me feel so good when you started coming to church with me and later got baptized. (I remember our inside jokes about church…LOL!!!) I am so glad you found your way to the Lord. Now daddy you can go be with God and rest.

You left mom behind, but she will be just find. She is truly "Clifford Jones' child". She is a strong, “yes also stubborn at times” but she is mom. You use to fuss about her and that telephone; well nothing has changed about that. Its either busy or just rangs because she is running her mouth. But, I am glad she has good friends and a loving family to talk too.

I know I was your baby and I know how much you loved me. No one could ever tell me anything or say anything about me without you defending me no matter whether I right or wrong because I was “your baby”. I will never forget that nor will I ever forget my daddy. You and mom have raised your baby girl to be a strong independent lady. I MISS YOU SO MUCH DADDY.

Love Your Baby,
Maida.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
