When my dad died and I had to clean out his room I saw a different side of him . I get my hoarder tendencies from him lol . He saved everything.

I saw the side of him that wore the same clothes all the time but never complained . He had a very sparse selection and seemed okay with it . Every now and then he would buy a shirt or a pair of pants but that was very rare.

I remembered how happy and excited he was when we went shopping to buy a suit for Kimberly’s wedding . He selected it himself , tried it on and model for me and was so happy he bought two .lol

I buried him in one of those suits because he was so handsome on Kim’s wedding day .

Cleaning out his room I found worn out shoes and boots .

He was always a boot man and toys , the same toys he would run to his room and bring out whenever his great grandchildren went over. Motorized cars , baby dolls, a piano, coloring books , a child size elmo backpack .

Elmo backpack? Lol

And a mop bucket , an o cedar bucket that I remember him saying he was going to buy for me because it had the wringer attached to it and that way I didn’t have to touch the mop with my hands to wring it out.

These things made him happy. Thinking of others.

Books, and Bible passages all over his room. He was a strong believer of God.

He was a small, quiet man. Loved John Wayne movies , any Avenger movie and Politics, but talk to him about any historical event from the past and he was in a world of his own. I have to say the man was very smart and a great story teller. He loved to laughed and smiled often.

I miss him

He was a small man who had such a huge impact in our lives and I don’t think any of us even knew how vital and important he was in our life until it was too late , its sad but true.

I miss him everyday, and think of him often. I love you Dad. Always and Forever 💙💔❤️

Thought about how you probably would have called to make sure we had everything we needed to stay warm in this ridiculous cold this weekend! :) 

You’re so very missed, Wello 🖤

Dear Lord,

Can you do me a favor?

Would you hug my Dad.

and place a kiss upon his cheek, and tell him it's from me? 💙

Aww Dad, I miss making Xmas plans with you.  When to pick you up , you telling me what you want me to buy for the girls. Did I set up the tree? Am I’m making pasteles? 

It’s just not the same without you but you earned your restful sleep.  🙏

I love you always. ❤️
