Kevin, I lost my father some time ago and a day dosent go by that I dont think about him. The grief will subside, thankfully the memories wont. You will wake up one day and discover that you have become a man much like him but better as he would have wanted. You will raise your kids with many of the lessons he taught you and you will honor him daily in this manner. Then when your kids are grown and adults and living by the lessons you taught them you may again say "thanks dad" in a private moment, looking at the lessons he taught you in your kids and he will be proud of what you have done. There can be no higher compliment from a son to a father.
I hope you get over your grief soon and start taking care of your business because now your the man.
I have experienced all of these things and know where you are. If you need to chat give me a shout.

Kevin i don't know you, but I understand what you are going through. Life will go on and you will become stronger. I lost my brother and grandfather within a month of each other. Just hold on to the memories. Time will get easier, but the lost will always be there. It is what you do with that lost which will make you a man. God bless you and your family.

Know that you will carry on your fathers legacy. He will live on in you. You are his legacy. Although he may longer be with you in person the love you share always will be. You'll carry it close to you ... in your heart. Your father will always be with you. I'm sorry for your loss.

Hey 00 man I know there is not much anyone can say to help u at this time, but I will say this Kev. I love u dog,I will be praying for you and your family.Kevin Im going to leave you with a poem my mom wrote for my lil brother when he passed in 01 it helps me from time to time. (Though his loving kindness, God gave you to me. T'was not for me to know when his day would be.
God knows how I love you, but never-theless there'sno doubt in my mind that he loves you best.
You were with us one day. The next day you were gone. In this world are satanic forces, but God still rules on his throne.
I asked Him why He allowed this to be. He repiled, why not Kevin? your DaD belongs to Me.
No more sorrows. No more troubles.No compromise. Rest well, Mr.Person, in Paradise.
Kevin know this my brother, God is able to take you through this test. One day you will be able to join your Father in eternal joy,peace, and rest. darn kevin I feel your pain dog, luv you bro.
313 784-3264 if you need anything bro. holla.

Well bro you know how I feel, man I Love You and the fam, it's hard to deal with because we've known each other all of our lives. Sitting here and just thinking and trying to hold back the tears, because you know that your brother is hurting is very hard. I can remember playing ball in the middle of the street and you,Tiny, Damon and the rest of you young cats waiting to for your chance to take over, you know that was our thing back then trying to take everything over (haha).Dad is a heck of a man and he raised some heck of a kids (with the help of moms of course). Wow, this makes me think of the old days, some were bad, but most were good and we all made it through those times. I guarantee you we will make it through these times as well. It's funny how things workout in this game of life. When I was younger, I always told my mom and dad that I wanted a little brother, because I'm the youngest, she said after having my big a.s.s it wasn't a chance in the world that she was going through that again. Who would know that years on down the line I would be truly BLESSED with you, Mansfield, Courtney, Lonnie and Brandon as my little brothers. What can you say to a man that on a daily bases you greet each other with a high five and a big hug, but I Love lil Bro and call me when need me.

I'm being blessed everyday to see my dad, but those words man makes me want to go up to my dads school and give him a hug. I was talking to Mansfield about our dads a long time ago and we basically have the same type of dad. My dad and his dad grew up in Birmingham, Alabama together right behind each other. We have those dads who have that hard exterior and being proud of us was never and will never be a problem, you cant stop them from talking about how proud they are of all of us, but our dads aren't the "come here son and give a hug type of dads, if you know what I mean". You really have thinking about going up to his school and laying a heavy hug on him and telling him thanks. I thank You for those words. |

Optimus
I had the same type of dad. He was a marine and served in Korea. During his service he was caught in machine gun fire and hit 16 times. He laid on that hill for some hours and did not die, when it was clear they carried him down the hill and he spent 18 mos in the hospital in chicago. Dad was never a "hugger" never had a spare compliment to hand out. Instead he always reminded me that the world dosent hand out hugs and compliments and taught me how tough it was. Dad was in pain every day of his life after he left the hospital with an open wound in his right leg that required care till the day he died. But he never complained he just moved on. When I was 40, and built a raceboat by hand he came over to "inspect" it. Having been a boatbuilder, I knew my work would get scrutiny. Well dad walked around the boat several times rubbing his hand here and there while I watched, after several minutes he looked at me and said "good job son". That meant more to me at that moment than winning the lottery!
Dad taught me many lessons in life that I see my son repeating, and I think to myself without knowing it I had taught what I had learned from my father and as I write this my father has been gone for 5 years and the tears are rolling down my face. I can think of no better compliment to a father than to teach your son as you have learned. I miss my dad, and at 54 years old, it never changes, I wish I had just one more hug.
