Daddy was an amazing father and husband to his whole family! And that was a big task considering there were nine of us! (I was the middle child) The love he had for God, the morales and values that he instilled in each and everyone of us will be treasured forever. I wasn't able to open as much time with Daddy growing up as I would have liked but when we were together, we just picked up where we left off. We just had the kind of relationship. I will do my very best to be the daughter that he created in God's eyes. One of last words to me were - "Thank you for turning out so loving and kind". He was so selfless, all he could think about was me and thanking me for turning out the way I did as he lay there dying waiting for God to take him.
The last month with Daddy was the best and the worst month of my life, helping my stepmother Sue take care of Daddy in his last days. Being able to spend those last days with Daddy while he was still able to talk and know his surroundings. I knew I made the right decision by coming down when I did. But, knowing that I will never be able to see Daddy again, hear his voice, get his amazing hugs, or speak to him and hear his silly little come backs like "Okey Dokey Smokey" - I also knew he was going to an amazing place and we would see each other again. So, I have to just hold on to that everyday and know that one day, we will see each other again. I love and miss you so much Daddy! I know you're singing & dancing and having the time of your life. See you soon! Love you to the moon and back - your baby girl! Robin 💜
