birthday…..

Today is my deceased father-in-laws birthday. He was a gruff man with the biggest heart. I’m so glad I got to tell him how much I loved him before he passed away. He got sick on Thanksgiving the year he passed. He would be gone in a matter of a few days. He treated me like a daughter. He wasn’t really affectionate but his love showed in his actions. Before me and Troy were married, I used to go the their house late at night to see if Troy was there, I know I always woke him up but he never got mad. He had a very bad life growing up. His dad died and when his mother remarried he was sent off to live with other relatives. He lived with a cousin named Geraldine for a while. I think he kind of became a drifter. But he was such a good dad and husband. I miss you John, thank you for being such a good Dad to Troy and for making me feel like a part of your family.
