Uncle Winky,
I wanted to apologize for not being around as much as I wanted to. I was just so busy with work, family and life in general. I hope that you knew how much I loved you. You were my dad and I’m proud to say that. You were the one who took care of me when even my own mother and father couldn’t. I have to say that you have done an unbelievable job raising me. I’m so happy you had an opportunity to meet your grand daughter. I will make sure she knows who you were. You will be missed. I just can’t believe you’re gone. I know God will take care of you now and that you don’t have to suffer anymore. Time passes so quickly and we all think that our loved will always be there. Or we can wait a little longer to see them. We never know when we will take our last breath nor do we know when our loved ones will. It’s best to say how we feel as much as possible and to spend as much time as we can with our loved ones before it’s too late. Something I wish I would’ve done a long time ago. I love you Dad. R. I. P.
