Hi Daddy. I know it´s been a while but know that I think of you every day. I´d like to think that you and Trevon celebrated your birthday together but I don´t know if birthdays are a thing in Heaven. I miss you both with every single beat of my heart.

Hi Daddy. I miss you so much. Sometimes I wish that I could just get thru January with out remembering..... without the tears. I think about you daily but January is the toughest. I get thru the year for the most part with memories but usually without much reflection. I don't know why I can't just do that in January. I can't even get thru NewYears day without hurting..... without the tears. When does it get better? I know the answer to that. That hole in my heart never heals. It's there always. The missed moments the missed conversations the missed memories never made. But there is that special place in my heart that is filled with the memories we made.... you teaching me how to pour gas in the carburetor in case I run out of gas in that yellow car you bought me at 16... you coming to fix a door or the plumbing at my house.... the things you taught me without even realizing were teaching moments like being a provider for your family, your work ethics, your willingness to always help others. You would be so proud of me. I work hard to provide for my family and I try to help others whenever I can no matter their circumstances. Daddy, I learned that from you. I am sorry that I didn't spend more time with you as an adult. I'm sure I coulda learned more. I'm sorry that I didn't come sit with you on the porch more often. I think if I made it more of a habit to come sit with you, you may have gotten up earlier that day. I hurt so much because I think that I coulda still had you here if only I'd come over that day to talk to you about something..... anything.
I will never know if I could have made a difference. I love you, Dad, and I miss you dearly. Happy New Year.

It still gets me cause the day you passed you said "you needed to talk to me after work". (I wish i know what it was) but any who i what to update you.

Her name is Joanna she also has a daughter name Isabella but we call her izzy for short its going good mom and grandma like her so thats a plus. Im working on the truck it took some time but I'm going to get her running again. Grandma still stubborn as usual lol but she misses you alot.

I miss you, Daddy. I wish I could just come over and sit with you on the porch. I want to just sweep the porch off, sit in your chair and read one of your books. Your book case is still on the porch but it is all dusty and mom has the dogs on the porch now. The dogs tore your chair up. I just wish I could feel the stubble of your hair on your face or put my fingers in your hair. It was so soft. You know I always liked that balding area right on the top. I would play in that bald spot area until you would say, "Stop now, girl". I just miss you, Daddy.

Hi Daddy. This month has been tough for me and it's only half over. I wish you were here to give me guidance sometimes because whether I like it or not, I am so much like you that it frightens me sometime. I love and miss you dearly.

Hello, Daddy. It's Julius's Birthday. I miss you sitting on the porch and smiling when I bring the kids over. Alyvia asked about you this morning. I told her you went to heaven. She said she wants to go see you. I told her one day we would all go to see you. I've been thinking about putting a fence up around my yard. I was driving the other day thinking about the fence and for one brief second, I thought about going to the house to ask you if you could tell me how to do it or find someone to do it for me... lol. Miss you bunches! Love you, Daddy.

It has been a long, rough day. I threw myself into work today, working from sun up to way past sun down, to not have to think about the fact that one year ago today, at this very time, I was holding my father in my arms... sitting on the kitchen floor.... saying my final goodbyes. Daddy, I miss you so much. It has been a tough year. I never felt such pain and grief in my life as I did that day on January 10, 2012. As I sit here, with tears of sorrow, I remember the man you were... a strong man, a provider, a friend, a father... you are loved and missed. I miss seeing you on the porch reading your books, I miss Alyvia climbing in your lap talking to you and you laughing saying, "I don't understand a word that girl is saying", I miss hearing you laugh at Trevon dancing in the yard with his shirt off showing al that sexiness, I miss you telling me to go to the store to get you a case of Miller High Life, I miss seeing you sitting outside under the tree with your friends when I pull up to the house. It is the small things in life that we don't appreciate until they are no more. I know that this message is of a personal nature and probably should be in a dairy or journal or something but I wanted to share my feelings because sometimes we get wrapped up in our everyday lives and don't take just one moment to hug our loved ones or just take the time out of our busy lives to visit with our parents. I was always on the go, never taking time to visit with my father and mother unless it was a holiday... his birthday, my parents anniversary, Christmas, New Years. I would stop in for a few minutes here and there, but never really spending quality time. My last time seeing my father alive was his birthday, January 2, 2012. He died 8 days later. I live 5 minutes away. If it wasn't for his birthday, I probably wouldn't have seen him. The message is, don't put it off. Time is precious. I regret not making the time to just drop in to say hi. I envy my sisters, Anita Copeland who (when she lived here) she would just go sit with Daddy for hours and talk about everything and nothing), and Cindy Edwards who would be at the house sitting on the porch with Daddy when I drove by and honked the horn. Anyway, I know this is long and most of you won't read this message to the end but I really just needed to say that you should all visit your loved ones, take time to spend time with your parents and your family because tomorrow is not promised.

It's been one of those days. I miss you so much. I feel like I didn't show you how much i appreciated you when you were here with us. I love you, Dad. I hope your sitting under that tree in heaven with your friend Von. Btw.... Kiss Big Momma for me, too.
