Dad, as I pack my bags to go away , I will take your picture with me ,how I wish I could have taken you on one of my trips just to let you be free of all the worries you had sometimes I wish you had understood my meaning of some of the things I tried to do for you I guess it was your way of making me stronger I think. We had a birthday cake for Brandon tonight he turned fourteen today he often speaks of you, he's getting so big and mature we also had cake for Keisha she will be ten in January they will never have you in their lives like their father and her mother did for that I'm sad.I am so glad you did go to Steven's wedding now a year ago New Years Eve the picture of you and mom with them I love and look at all the time . I miss you dad but will think of you every day . LOVE JUDY. XOXO.
