Good morning family!
Many of you know me some of you don’t but it’s Kerrisha, and I’m June’s stepdaughter. It break my heart to know that I couldn’t physically be here today, but that doesn’t determine the love I ever had for him. He’s all I’ve known as a father outside my biological father. June and my mom dated for a very long time and I always thought he was a phenomenal man right or wrong. I met June when I was only five years old and I fell in love with him since then. As a child, I used to tell people I was lucky to have 2 dads because I got so much love from them both. I will always remember the times I spent with June and the memories that we created. I was so ready for him to come home, that’s all we talked about. I was his child that handled business and made it happen. Our very last conversation was actually about me handling business for him as I always did. He was so proud of me for the many accomplishments I’ve endured and I was so proud of him. He promised me that he wouldn’t miss anymore of my accomplishments and I held him to that. I struggled with determining if I would embark on my next journey of obtaining my doctorate, now I know exactly what I will be doing because he constantly told me to go back so he can be there to see me. Because of him, I promise to continue to make you happy.
To June, I’m thankful for you! I thank you for being the stand up guy you knew how to be. I thank you for the life lessons and for always making me feel better. I thank you for being there for me in my times of need. I thank you for showing me how I’m supposed to be loved and treated. I thank you for the timeless memories. I thank you for correcting my wrongs. I thank you for letting me cry to you. I thank you for being my dad and making it all happen. I thank you for letting me be a daddy’s girl. I’m most thankful for you never giving up on me after you and my mom split. Last but not least, I thank you for loving me and uplifting me like I was your own child. I will miss you pops. I love you forever ❤️
