My father was always my hero and made every effort to not only make my life easier but also the lives of everyone that was ever a part of his story of life. One of the biggest things that stands out the most was his ultimate love for everyone in his life, regardless of the lack of mutual feelings or how bad anyone ever done him, his love surpassed his anger, and he would always just say love them like Jesus would have, not forgetting someone's actions but always finding room in our hearts for forgiveness. Daddy lived his lifetime making every effort to bring others to know Christ Jesus. He always told us that was the only way to heaven and giving us hope to one day see the family and friends one day. There isn't one split-second that i ever seen his anger flare towards anyone he would always shake his head and walk away from any altercation and start praying for peace to surround himself but also whomever there was issues. daddy never really understood the impact he had made in other lives. I wish somehow that I could go back in time and make every second last a little longer and try harder just to show him and let him know just how very much he really was loved ---by not only myself but in the lives of his other children & family and friends as well. I just wish that I could have been there with him and held his hand and him know for one second that he was never alone no matter how far away I was from him...he has always been the very core of my heart, after all he was the first to land only real man to Love this old girl...unconditionally. I will always love you daddy, there is not one single day that goes by that I don't think of you often or just top a spell to sit down and cry looking at your photos missing you so much. I pray that somewhere out there you are looking down at me smiling, just as you were in my dream the day after you passed on to be with Jesus, only this time you are already walking. Because I can find a little peace just to know that you had stopped there on your way to heaven just to comfort me by letting me know that the really nice man and doctor was going to work on your legs and now, he has already fixed everything that's ever been broken, and you aren't in anymore pain or lonely any longer. This isn't goodbye daddy I promise one day soon I will be there so it's really just another....... "See ya later alligator>>>>After a Lil while crocodile!"

For anyone that doesn’t know Frank was my Dad when he would leave me a message he would always say it’s your Dad give me a call. No matter how much time passed he always looked at me as his son. He was there for me when I had no one else he was there . I should have been checking on him and this would have never happened. I had no idea he was alone out there. I was told he was in a nursing home. My heart breaks knowing that he was there ,all alone ,needing me and I wasn’t there. He will forever be my father and I’ll be his son no matter what . That tells you the kind of man he is. He took me in as his own and never looked at me different.
