Dear Daddy,
I always prayed to GOD for things like “Please let my Dad see me graduate college” (2006)✔”Please let him see me get my masters”(2008)✔”Now if he could just walk me down the asile” (2017)✔ “1 more to go…can my Daddy see my first born”… As I typed the last prayer/request I’m overwhelmed with,WOW, look at all of the things/days that MY GOD has pulled, dragged, gave breath to my Dad. These 12 years haven’t been been breezy for you (81) & I know that you said you would hold on for me or as you said “I ain’t going NOwhere!” BUT I know you and God have been talking and the pain was getting worse and you too went to sleep with a prayer “Please GOD don’t let me hurt anymore” & God answered, just like he has done many times before. As I was on the way to the airport, trying to change a flight that I had previously booked, I noticed that the confirmation codes first 3 letters were MOM followed by l4d aka:lookout for mom (Debbie). Seeing this I knew not to be sad but to do just that.

Love you 4ever,
Jenn
Aka: Big Baby
Don’t worry I/God’s GOT this!
