Dear Papa (Daddy),
I don't even know where to began with this. I love you sooo much that words can't even explain. I want you to know that you have done such a great job of being my grandpa and my dad. You have put smiles on my face for years and more years to come, beacause I know we'll all be together again, just like the good ol' days. You know what...I been crying all day today thinking about you. It's funny beacuse i'm crying now as i'm typing this. You know what? I know I have to stop all of that, because I know you would'nt want that. I know you'd want me to continue to make you proud by working and taking care of ma'. Imma keep my word and keep my job, even though i'm having trouble at work since my last visit with you, seeing you that way mad me upset. But I can't use that as an excuse. Man, i'm really going to miss you. The times that we've had, you waking me up every morning for school when I was goin, and you'd get mad at me when I would'nt go. You'd yell my name out soooo loud I think the neighbors heard you...lol!!! And you getting on Aaron about cleaning the yard...lol!! You were amazing to me. I thank god for you. I want you to know that I will continue to take care of ma'. She's in good hands. Me, Aaron and your daughter has been here with her making sure that she's getting everything that she needs. And ohhh guess who's home...Stephanie! You loved her sooo much. She's been here with us and been taking care of ma' too. You know she loved you to so much, and she still does not matter what. You see this is more of a letter to me. Since I did'nt get to see you as much as I wanted so I have to fill you in on alot. Hmmm...let's see Justice she's getting sooo big a grown. Aaron, he's doing sooo good. And yes he's still working. Everytime i'd come to see you you'd never forget to ask that. He's doing good for himself. Your daughter Debra, she's doing good too. She's still working at the same place. Everyone else is doing good also. Well i'm taking up to much space..you know how I like to run my mouth and carry on. I think I get that from you..always have to get my point across. I wanna thank you and I miss you soo much...OH BOY HERE I GO CRYING AGAIN..SORRY!! But be good up there, and watch over the family. Being without you will be hard, but soon we'll be together again. Love you your grand daughter- Stacey (or as you would call me) SPACEY.
