    1. Hi Daddy!! I’m writing this on here cause I know nobody is going to see it. Oh man I miss you!! I think about you nearly everyday. Remember you told me to stay strong and take care of my siblings even though most of them are older than me. I’m trying I’ve gotten my life on track and I’m doing the dang thing just like you always said I would. Out of everyone you YOU were the one who always believed in me. I don’t get it. 1st my lil buddy my baby brother me side kick gets taken from me. And it took a long time to heal from that even though I was so young apart of me still remembered that pain and now your gone it’s been years but it doesn’t feel like it. There was days you would call me and we would talk for hours and I’d start getting irritated cause we would be on the phone for 3-4 hours I wish I could get another phone call another hug another cruise through Amarillo while listening to Ll cool j. You have been on my mind heavy lately. I wish I could have you back. I wish I could be annoyed by another long call or weird msg that mad no sense or one of ur mean ear pills or ear tug
