MY DAD.....

My Dad was a wonderful person, i used to call and check on him every day. A sometimes if i didnt get to call him, he would call me and tell me that he had fell in the road and gotten hit by 10 cars because i didnt call him, and he had to get a stranger to drag him back in the house... That was our joke. I could call him without notice if i needed a babysitter and he would do it, even if he didnt really feel like it...

My dad has been sick for 5 years, he had scerosis of the liver, he had his good days and his bad days. But he always did for people even when he hurt and could barely get out of bed.....

Dad and hannah had a special bond, he love her more than anyone could ever imagine, and it was the same with hannah she loved her papa... They had a special bond, the first thing she would do when we went to my parents house was walk right past my mom and go looking for her papa... She loved him so much. D.j always wanted to go see his papa especially if i had to take hannah to the doctor. my dad spoiled him too because D.j was his very first grandchild...

Augast 2nd, he had surgery on his liver to remove a very bad spot of cancer, it was rather large.... And that is when he started to go down hill. His kidneys never woke up from the surgery, he had gotten ecoli in his lungs and blood, which for a while they thought was pnumonia, He was on several high powered antibiotics, he had a mild heartattack, that cause little heart damage... but he seemed to be improving, because thursday August 17th they took him off the respirator, and he did great all day he talked on the phone, you really couldnt understand him but he tried so hard, he talked to hannah and dj, he just seemed to be doing great. but saterday morning they told my mom to call the family in that he wasnt gonna make it so we all rushed up there to be with him.... He died sunday August 20th, at around 3:30 pm, with his family around the bed, a lady from church had came down there as well and was singing bullah land, and he looked into mom's eyes and he puckered up and kissed her, he never took his eyes off of my mom. He died about 15 minutes after they took him of life support it was so peaceful.. He is at home with Jesus today..

This is a very hard thing, I had never see anyone die before, and to see my dad die was a horrible experiance, I am gonna miss him with every fiber of my being, he could always make people laugh in and in his own way he loved everyone even if you made him mad he would still help people, he had jesus in his life, he is in a better place now, no more pain and suffering no more being scared.. It just wasnt supposed to happen so soon he was supposed to watch my kids and my brothers kids grow up.. My mom is really gonna miss him he didnt work so he took care of the house for her he was her mechanic, her house keeper, and he landscaper, he also was her best friend.. She will heal with time i know. God will give her a peace that passes all understanding....... I LOVE YOU DADDY, YOU ARE IN GOD'S HANDS NOW,,, YOU DONT HAVE TO FIGHT ANYMORE.. TILL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN, WE WILL HOLD YOU DEAR IN OUR HEARTS. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU.
