I was thinking about you on your Birthday Daddy!
I miss you so much, and momma too.

Thinking of you Daddy, and momma too. I miss both of you so much. Thank you for all the good times we had, and for always being there for me. I miss you sooo much, not a day goes by that I don’t think of the two of you, and how blessed I am to have had you as my parents.!

My mom was in the hospital preparing for what would be her last heart surgery. It was around 11:30am, when I heard a noise & peaked out the door of her hospital room. I saw my daddy walking with his trusty ole cane, carrying a small plastic bag that had once held the newspaper. The newspaper was gone & in its place, was a cold can of soda wrapped in foil, 2 slices of bread, also wrapped ever so maticulously in plastic wrap. There were small pieces of foil filled with mustard & mayo & another piece of foil wrapped with lettuce & tomato & pickles. The rest of the story is one of a very magical, innocent moment shared between two people, who were crazy in love with each other. To anyone else observing this moment, well, they saw two "very young" adults crazy, crazy in love with each other!!! My mom lit up like the brightest star in the sky, & she greeted my dad with much love & affection. He too was glowing...like a neon light & he reciprocated with the same. As my dad prepared the feast for the "King & Queen", my mom moved to the end of the hospital bed& leaned back, using her arms to prop herself up. Then, she crossed her legs at her ankles and with her starry eyes she gazed into my father's eyes...just as starry as my mother's! They proceeded to romance each other, reminiscing of days gone by, talking as if they were still in the early days of one of the most amazing married love affairs known to any man alive. I slowly backed away to where I was halfway out the door, in order to give them privacy. But, I was able to capture those moments on video and camera. But alas, someone has deleted them. (It appears as if some evil person hacked into my Facebook account & posted some very sick photos. I haven't seen them but someone told me@ them.) I share this story with everyone who knew my dad & mom). My dad prepared a meal fit for a queen & his queen savored it with great passion & love; just as my amazing loving father did! He will always be the most loving, kind & generous man I have ever known. And a BIG ditto for my mom!! They are one of a kind!
