Daddy-
I wish I could’ve seen Grams face when she saw you. I know she missed you terribly. Almost as much as we do here. You’re going to be so surprised when you see what we have planned for you! I’m going to do my best to make you proud. Our last conversation, you said ” Micha, you & I are the strong ones”. But what happens when we are weak? I’ve been pressing through because there’s work to do but in the morning I cry so hard my eyes can barely open. I still can’t get over the face I will never see your face again. Or hear ” Hi, my daughter”. Or that laugh. Although I think my son is just as silly as you. Oh well, back to planning your service. I know how particular you are. Please know that I love you so much. I spoke to Uncle Gary today. We laughed reminiscing. I needed that. He sounded just like you during certain times. Aunt Barbara has been a huge help. Miss you dad. Love you. Just wish I had one more day to say the things I needed to say…
Our prayers are with you and your family now and forever.
Baby I miss you so much. The idea of coming to D.C was supposed to always be a happy one where you will wear a smile knowing we would visit family and everything would be joy. I know God called you away from pain and suffering because you don’t deserve that but selfish me sometimes want to run to you and tell you the so many good things people say about you and you are not there. You know Michael Anthony is so you “mommy are you ok? ” “mommy are you feeling better?” And he tells me he loves his family and he said to dad “papeyo, I told you Washington was good! my family is good!” Just like you told me before coming here. He also told me you visited him on Wednesday and was very excited about it “my Daddy looked handsome” he said. Thank you for loving us the way you did, Thank you for allowing us to love you more. You once said we will always be together and I believe you. I know you will wait for me. Thank you for being the man in my life, thank you for sharing yours with me. Thank you for showing me your love in your every action, every day, every second, every breath. I’ll keep that love with me until we meet again.
~Te Amo ♡
Missing you!
My deepest sympathies to Johnson family. May you find a measure of solace and comfort from the scriptures at this time of sorrow. John 5:28,29.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family as you grieve the loss of your loved one and especially to my neighbor, Micha. We recently talked about your dad and having lost a father myself, I understand.
I pray for your strength now and in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.
