Liam misses you so much, it breaks my heart that he won't have you there for all his big milestones in life or there when he needs advice. He says Daddy all the time and it kills me that y'all didn't get a chance to really bond. I know we had our issues but I hope you know that I really did love you and I tried my hardest to make it work. I know you are at peace now and that's the positive thing to come out of this. I promise Liam will know who his father was, how you never met a stranger,your love for cooking,gun and just getting in the Air. You are missed by so many and loved even more. I really wish things could have been different. Please watch over our son Javon! ❤️😘❤️😘
