I miss you so much that it hurts. I drive by you everyday, hoping to catch a glimpse of you somewhere. You've visited me in my dreams to which I hold so dear. Sometimes I find myself at home hoping to catch your scent or a breeze or something to know you're still here with me. I spent so much time being angry but that never ever stopped me from loving you or you being the absolute best father a girl could have asked for. You took care of me when my own threw me away. Every graduation, award ceremony, tear you were there . And now I can't not have you here.
Ronnie rest in peace now i forgive u🙏🏾
