Dad, I don't know what to say. You passed on May2, 2013 and I found out today with a phone call. How sad is this. I understand if you didn't want a funeral that is your right. What I don't understand is your childrend didn't even get so much as a phone call on the day of your passing. Your wife didn't call any of your children and let us know. Now you are gone and we can't even pay our respects. I'm trying to understand all of this and it is all just to overwhelming. In my young life you wern't a part of it, my teenage years you were to busy running around with other women, one who was my mothers best friend, and you ended up marrying her. We didn't talk for year, 23 to be exact. Then you marry a young women who has some issues and turns out shes a lesbian and she throws you in jail. Now you married a woman named Sue, who I met and she didnt' even have the class to call any of us. She has our phone numbers. Funny, when money was needed and there was plenty I sent it to you no questions asked. I visited you to get some things off my chest and we reconnected, or so I thought. You wern't there for any of your eight children growing up. Yet we were always there for you when you neede anything. You had the chance to make things right, we even wanted you to move out here so we could take care of you. No matter what you did to us we forgave you, all we wanted in return was your love and for you to spend some time with us and get to know what wonderful children you had. Now your gone and you probaly died alone when we could have been there to help you. I'm just so hurt and pissed I don't understand and I guess I never will. It is what it is. No matter what you thought I loved you more than you could have possibly known, and I can honestly say the same about all your children. I hope you are at peace and you get the rest you need. Look out for Mom, she's probaly waiting to give you a peace of her mind.My way of getting through this is to remember the good times we had, and we did have some good times. You had the most beautiful eyes and the best laugh. I'll miss that, and your stories. I could sit and listen to your stories all day long. When you were around you were a good dad. These are the things I'm gone to remember, and my last visit with you. I just hope you were happyin your last days and you were with people who loved you. God Bless you Dad, and May you rest in peace.
