I Remember
A thousand words a thousand time I heard my name Kimberly, Kimmy, Kim or QQ. You see I will remember till our Creator calls him home. Though today and tonight, I will repeat my name in the same contexts to let you know I’m by your side, I’m hear and you are not alone of your journey. We don’t know what our Creator has in store, what I do know is what he gave me between my father and I. Unconditional Love, hardship, hurt and pain to allow me to be strong. One of the greatest gift my father gave me was my grandfather Marshall. As my grandfather he taught me compassion, caring, and respect. Something my father struggled with, though that is not what I see now. As I sit in the darkness, listening to his breath and wonder when.
I can only hold onto what I beleave I could do for both of us. He watched me come into this world. And I will patently watch him leave into our Creators arms.
When the time comes he will be greeted by his loved ones and share with them he was not alone.
🦅 Love you dad 🦅
