Okay guys I'm not trying to be all sad and depressing but my father is what i really have been thinking about for these past days. Tomorrow will make 5 years since he's been gone but the best way i see it is that he is peaceful and having a great time being with family in heaven. :)
My father was very protective over my sister and I, we use to have to stay inside all day everyday unless he said we could go out, which was only when he was out there. We couldn't leave the house if we didn't have on shorts that went to our knees or if we were wearing a dress we had to have shorts on under the dress.. My father was loving, he had sure he gave us love and showed it too. Of course he showed us in different ways but at least he let us know he did. He use to play around with me and give me lots of kisses and hugs to show his love towards me. When it was my sister he showed her a whole different type of love called "Tough Love." The reason why i think he should showed her this type of love is because he could see she was just like him and he wanted her to be as tough and strong as him. While on the other hand there was short and boney me who was a sissy when i was younger but i grew and now i'm still short not as boney and emotionally stronger :).
My father was funny! He use to tell my sister Chastity, my cousin Bre'Donda and I one time we were up around 12 a.m. and playing cards that we were playing cards with the devil because this is his time to be out on the streets looking for people or a game of cards to play. Another time we were up late at night he was telling us that the Man with the Golden Hand was going to come out the wall or through the window and snatch us and never bring us back. He said the Man with the Golden Hand wore a fishing hat with the fishing suit but the main thing that stood out was the golden hand that he used to grab people that he wanted. It might not sound funny to ya'll but if he's ever told you the story then you would be the ones to laugh :) (sorry i couldn't really get into it like him).
Now there's a tradition I started after he passed which is eating one of his favorite foods on the day he passed and the day he was born. One of my father's favorite foods were chill dogs and lay potato chips so that is what i'll be eating tomorrow can't wait i think its becoming one of my favorites lol.
I'm sorry that i couldn't give ya'll more i hope the next time i can :) hope ya'll enjoy!
