Dear Daddy, Addressed Heaven

Dear Daddy,

Since you left things have been different. I miss you, as does Shayla, but Junior needs you more than any of us. You left us at a critical age in his life where a good male influence was necessary to form himself into a good man. Daddy he is so lost right now. He's falling into the wrong crowd and you need to be here to explain to him where he is going wrong. Sometimes I pray to God asking him to give you back to us because your death was not supposed to happen this soon. Who am I going to have to introduce my boyfriends to, or to walk me down the aisle and give me away to a life of marriage? That's supposed to be you....and I don't believe any man mama dates will be able to fill that spot....I won't let him. What makes things even harded is that you're buried so far away. Me, being here and Mississippi and you laying in Wisconsin, I can't visit you when I want. I can't come see your stone as often as I'd like. Some days I just feel like sitting at your grave and talking to you....but that impossible because you're four states away! So I call Aunt Willie Mae every birthday and Father's Day, and asks her to put flowers on your grave for me,....but that's never enough. And Daddy, even though you weren't around as much as I'd have liked, you still played your role as a great father the best you could. I can never forget those things. Even though I can't physically feel you, your spirit is forever with me and I'll always keep that close to heart.

With love and memories,

Kayla
