I will never forget the day you left this world. September 3rd, 1989, is forever etched in my mind. My world has never been the same. I was 9 years old and didn’t know how to talk about you without breaking. I didn’t talk much about it back then. I could never express in words the amount of love I had for you and still have for you, Daddy. But here is my attempt.
I don’t have one single bad memory of you. You were Superman to me. Your long, shiny, blue car was your cape, and I wanted to fly everywhere you went. “Come on, Top. Let’s ride,” you would say to me. I remember feeling like no one loved me the way you did. I was your Valentine, and you would shower me with candy and flowers every Valentine’s Day. There was no one like you.
The day you passed; I thought my life was over. I was heartbroken. I couldn’t breathe. I no longer wanted to live; I wanted to be with you, to fly with you to the great beyond. But I knew I couldn’t go with you. Your Top had to stay on land while you flew away. I tried writing to you. I wrote you letter after letter, hoping you would somehow read them. I wrote to God asking him to return you because I needed you. I remember bargaining with God that I would be a good girl and not cause problems if he just sent you back to me. He couldn’t. Everything I did, everything I do, I think about you.
The day I graduated from basic training, I felt so proud. I looked up and said, “Daddy, I did it. I am a soldier just like you.” I prayed that you were proud of me, too. Then I got pregnant and felt ashamed. I didn’t want to let you down, but my shame went away when I told you about it. Instead, I felt an overwhelming amount of love from you, and I knew it would all be okay.
I feel you with me everywhere I go, but I miss you every day.
It hit me hard the night before Jasmine left for college. I was sitting in the middle of my Living Room floor, crying like a baby because I needed and wanted you so much right then. I wish my girls had gotten a chance to meet you.
We had so little time together, but I want you to know, Daddy, that in that short time, you showed me what love is, what it feels like, and what it looks like. Because of that lesson, I have the husband that I have now. Because of that short time, I know what to accept and what not to accept in love. Shawn Hatcher is everything you showed me to accept.
I wish you could have been here to see us get married 19 years ago. I wish you were here now seeing us renew our vows. Shawn is a good man, and you would have loved him. He shows me the same gentle, caring, unconditional love that you did, Daddy, and I am grateful you showed me what that looks like.
As I write this, Daddy, I am holding back my tears—tears of sadness because you are not here but also tears of joy that I was able to experience the type of love I received from you. I love you, Daddy, and you will forever be in my heart.
Forever your little girl. Forever your Top,
