Some of you probably know that yesturday morning, my father passed away.

I would like to thank  cheetahlover for sending out a journal about what happend and for everyone sending me their condolences for my father. I greatly appreciate it. No words cannot express for everyone's kindess.

Me and my mom are holding up well. When I first heard the news, I was mostly shocked more than I was upset. We knew his health was quite poor but we didn't expect it would be this soon.

The cause of death was a stroke.

Me and him always had issues but not to the point where it broke us apart. We had different views on religion but I kept them to myself because well, why would I want to cause trouble with my family. He was a foolish man, but I still loved him. He was my father. Some people tend to have issues with their fathers but me and him were pretty much alright. We talked and he would preach and I would listen (go out one ear and out the other yah heh.)

Dad, I will miss you. Most of the time you were a foolish man but you did have a good heart. You always had a poor sense of health choices and I have learned from you about those choices you have made. In your own way, your choices were a lesson for me.

Requesta De Patche Father, you will be missed.
