I miss my father like crazy. Only my boyfriend Fadel Stanley went through it with me and helped to keep me sane as physcologically possible. None of my family has even attempted to see how me or my boys are. I have nobody to just sit around and remember my father with. If I can't have my dad back, then I just want somebody that will remember him with me. I love you dad. Rest in peace and watch over me until I'm able to join u dad.
