Dad, seven years ago you went to Heaven. Mom went to Heaven exactly five months earlier, and was there waiting for you to join her. So, seven years ago I became an adult orphan. Seven years ago feels like only seven milliseconds ago. I still hurt; I still miss you; I still wish I could have had a little more time with you.
I love you, Dad!

Dad, this is your 5th anniversary of crossing over into Heaven. No more worries, sickness, or pain ........ just eternal JOY! You deserved that Dad, and so much more. You had put in the work and God called for you to come home and rest. You are free forever! I´m ecstatic that you´re happy, well, and at peace now, but I miss you beyond words. I can´t say that if I only had one more day with you, one more conversation with you, one more meal with you, one more laugh with you, one more family get-together with you, one more hour with you, one more second with you, one more ....... because if I did, I will still want more ......! I love and miss you Dad, so much. One day, "one more ......." will turn into "forever" ....... and when that happens, I will finally be happy again!

Dad, three years ago today, you went to Heaven to be with Mom. Three years ago, my life forever changed. I no longer had mom; I no longer had you. To this day, I am still trying to adjust to being an orphan - - an adult orphan. This void in my life will always be with me. When mom left, half of my heart went with her; when you left, the other half went with you. Now, all I feel is emptiness - - 3 years, and counting, of emptiness. I miss you, so much, Dad.

Well, today makes 3yrs that you left us to be with Grandma. As much as I try to convince you that we needed you here with us. Your love for Grandma outweighed that need. Pop-Pop, you knew in your heart that your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were going to be fine. But, I selfishly wanted you to hold on so that I could go on a trip with my Sister. But, God had the final say and you left us on Friday, June 29, 2018, 5months on the day that Grandma left us. It was not a coincidence but it was planned by you and Grandma. On that Friday Morning you got up, took your shower, shaved and got dress and put on your cologne because you knew that that day was the day for you to reunite with your wife of 68yrs. You lived to see your Wedding Anniversary. You were in good spirits. But, 3yrs later it still doesn't seem real. I miss you everyday and I will forever hold on to our memories and happy times that we shared. You will forever be "My Legs!" And because of my Pop-Pop's bowed legs....I have always found men with bowed legs attractive lol I love you Pop-Pop and continue to rest in Heavenly Peace!!

Happy 71st Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad! You have been together since high school - - you were high school sweethearts. You didn´t see one without the other. You loved each other so much that when one of you passed away, the other could not bear to live without you and therefore, passed away exactly five months later. We were heartbroken to lose you both, especially in such a short span of time, but we understand that your heartache of being apart was much deeper and more than ours. Now you´re back together again, always and forever, in Heaven!
Love you Mom and Dad!

This is our 3rd Father’s Day without you. I miss you beyond words. I don’t think I will ever stop counting the birthdays without you, the Father’s Days without you, the Christmases without you, the years without you .. When you left, a big part of me went with you, so I will always feel that something is missing. That something (somebody) is you. I will miss you and love you forever. I am happy that you are finally free - - no more sickness, no more worries but, I selfishly wish that I could have had one more day with you. You were such a wonderful Dad, Granddad and Great-Granddad and now, you are our beautiful Angel!❤

This is the 3rd birthday without you and I miss you just as strongly as the first time. That will never go away. I wish that I was able to celebrate your birthday with you but for now, the closest that I can come is to lay fresh flowers on your final earthly resting place, which is exactly what I did. I know that you love the flowers because they are in your favorite colors - - fall colors. Beautiful flowers for my beautiful father who is now a beautiful Angel!
Love you Dad!❤

Hi Daddy,
Meet your beautiful great-grandbaby, Princess Kayleigh!
Earl (daughter)
October 18, 2020
Hi Dad,
I miss you tremendously and I think about you and mom throughout the day, every day. I have a plant that I call "Dad". I talk to my Dad plant every day, as if I am talking to you. That helps me to feel close to you. I also have a plant named "Mom". I talk to and love on my "Mom" plant every day too. Unfortunately, my Mom and Dad plants are in different parts of the house because you like bright light and Mom likes indirect light. But, I give each plant daily reports about the other. All of this may sound quircky but it helps me in so many ways. Dad, so much craziness is going on in the US now. The country is in turmoil. The hands of time have been turned back to the 50's, even further, actually. We are battling for our rights and equality - - social, justice, voting, civil, etc. I wish that you were here to watch the news with me. You would have have been amazed, shocked and exhausted. It's a mess Dad! A HOT mess! The post office is caught in the middle of all of this mess. It's voting season and trump is trying to convince the country that mail-in voting leads to voter fraud. All of the years you had worked at the postal service, you had never experienced any incident of voter fraud. What they are doing to the post office now would have broken your heart. You loved working at the post office up until you retired. With all of the turmoil that's going on and missing you and Mom nonstop, God saw fit to give us a special blessing. He blessed the family with a brand new bundle of joy. You have a new great-granddaughter named Kayleigh. She is almost 6 weeks old. She has been a blessing to us and gives us something positive to focus on. We haven't had a baby in the family in 8 years so we are pretty excited about Kayleigh. I wish that Kayleigh could have grown up knowing you and Mom; I wish that she had gotten to know how wonderful you were. Just like we do.
August 15, 2020
Hi Dad,
I always think about you but I am thinking about you even more these days (if that is possible), probably because of all of the turmoil that is going on in our country now. And particularly, with the post office. You worked at the post office for many, many years - - from the late 1950s until you retired in the early 1990s. Mail is deliberately being slowed down; mail carriers are told to return mail to the post office if it has not been delivered by the end of the day; overtime is no longer allowed; mailboxes are being taken off of the streets; mail and barcode sorting machines are being taken offline and removed; postal services managers and/or top executives are being removed; funding to the post office is being withheld; and so many other things. This would have broken your heart if you were still here. You enjoyed working at the post office; you were extremely proud to work there; and you took your job very seriously. You were even one of the star bowlers in the postal league. All of the turmoil that is going on with the postal service is being done intentionally by trump. He has been saying that mail-in-voting is prone to fraudulent activity even though there is no evidence to support that. The overall concensus is that he is doing this to sabatoge the presidential election, which is the upcoming November. He thinks this will help him to win. He even admitted on television yesterday that he is withholding funds to the postal service because they would use it for handling the mail-in vote ballots. It's a mess Dad! And on top of this, we are still dealing with a deadly virus in which nearly 170,000 people have died so far. But, despite all of this, I think that you would be excited to see that Biden has selected a Black woman to be on his ticket as Vice President. This is historical. I wish that you were here to see this, Dad; I wish that we could watch this together as things unfold. We would have been CNN co-anchors. Even your niece, Lois, said that if you were still here, you would be all into this because this was your thing. I agree 100%. Perhaps you are watching this craziness from Heaven; you are in a much better place than all of us down here. But, I still wish, in a way, that you were here so that we could sit back and eat Skinny Pop popcorn while we watch and talk about the activities and changes that are having a significant impact on our country. Dad, believe me when I say, we are literally re-living the days of Selma. This would have blown your mind!!! Miss you!

Dad,
It is 10:27pm on June 29th. It has taken me all day to finally feel up to writing this because today make 2 years since you joined Mom in Heaven. I guess you get tired of hearing me say, "it seems like it was just yesterday...." The years don't feel like years; they feel like one millisecond. Sometimes it feels like time has actually stopped and it is June 29, 2018, all over again. The feelings and memory of losing you are still fresh, still new, still shocking, still painful. I wish that I could have just one more day with you ...... just-one-more-day! But who am I kidding, I sill would not be satisfied. I would always want one more and one more and one more...... I miss you so much. I will never get used to not having you and Mom here; I will never get used to no longer having MY parents. The Lord is teaching me how to live through my new normal, how to live without you. I am a very slow learner but He is patient and understanding. The beautiful and happy memories I have of you are very uplifting. It would be hard to choose a particular favorite. But my "overall" favorite is how good you were to us and how much you loved us. I hope that you knew how much we loved you too. We were so proud to be your daughters and grandchildren. We considered it an honor and a privilege to call you "Dad" and "Granddad". We will always be honored to do so. We will never stop loving you, cherishing you, celebrating you, missing you, and thanking God for you! YOU WERE OUR JOY! Love you Daddy!!!
June 29, 2020
June 29, 2020 is a difficult day for me. Because at 9:00am on this sad day you gained your wings. Today makes 2yrs since God called my Pop-pop home. I broke down crying knowing what today was. 2yrs ago at this moment 11:01am we (the family) was in your room saying our goodbye's to you. To be absent from the body is be present with the Lord. We sat with you in utter disbelief that you were no longer with us. First, it was Grandma January 29 and now you June 29. Exactly, 5 months on the day. The hurt I felt on this day is so unreal. I still cry for you and I miss you so much. Today, is not an easy day for us Pop-pop. The pain is still so fresh.

Today is the 2nd Anniversary of my Dad leaving us for his Heavenly home. I am still in shock and disbelief!

I thank the Lord everyday for blessing me with a strong father who gave the world to his wife, daughters and grandchildren. Continue to Rest in Heavenly Peace Dad. I know you love where you are because you showed me. I love you and miss you very much. You and Mom will forever be in my heart!❤❤❤

I am sure that you are enjoying your new heavenly home. But for me, things haven't been the same without you because I miss you so much. This is our 2nd Father's Day without you but it feels like you just went to Heaven today. You were such a wonderful dad, which makes missing you even harder. But I am so grateful and thankful that God specifically made just for me. He did an awesome job! So, Happy Father's Day, Dad. I thank God, our Father, for blessing me with a father like you!
Love you always,
