Hi Daddy, it's me again. I miss you so very much. Here we are in 2022 and it just still feels unreal. I wanted to let you know your 3rd grandson is here. He's 2 weeks old now. Born 12/21/21 @ 6:05 pm 7lbs 1 oz, 20 inches. He was 6lbs 13 oz when we left hospital 2 days later. He's now a healthy 8lbs 5oz. I used mom and your name to make his. KARen+hermAN= Ka'Rán(K-Ron) J. Riley-Bowen. He came out looking just like you and Lèvelle. I cry wgen I look at him somedays (like today) because he makes faces that look just like his Grandpa. I really wish you were here to meet him, he is such a sweet baby. I know you'd love him. I have days where it's tough and it's always hurts. I always thought you'd be here to meet my babies if I had any. It's still tough not hearing from you a few times a week like I used to. I talk about you to him daily so he will know who his Grandpa is and how he was on this Earth. When the weather warm up I want to bring him to come see you. I hope you're watching over us. We love you daddy

Before the night is out I wanted to talk to you dad! This year would've been the year. We were struggling to get our relationship back for a while, but it was in a good place. I can't text you or call you and tell you Happy Father's Day, but know I didn't forget about you either. No matter where in life I go, no matter how much time passes, you will always be my only dad; and I your only daughter. I love you daddy. Hope you are indeed resting in peace and a Happy Heavenly Father's Day to you from me and your future grandchild below.

Hey daddy, I miss you so much. I was home for a week recently and looked for you 3 days in a row. Of course I had to feel the pain of heartbreak when I didn't find you. I just wanted to tell you the news that I'm sure you already know. I'm expecting and you'll be a grandpa again in December. I really wish you were here to tell you in person and so your grandchild could meet you. In any case they will know who their grandpa is. I love you so much dad. It still hasn't gotten any easier but it's helped knowing I got pregnant right as you returned home. I know that means you must be my baby's guardian angel!

Herman (P.J.),
We met when I was 17 years old. I never imagined that you would be as you and I used to say "My Baby" We ran into each other through the years and had conversations of sustenance. I thought it was just to make me smile. We married over 10 years ago and shared that bond until God called you home on February 5, 2021. You were my love(r), friend, my rock, my protector, and of course my Chef. It's been tough without you here. Your love for family was more than anyone outside our circle could understand. It's unfortunate that those you reached out to did not respond. They missed such an amazing person, friend, and family man. When you got really ill this time around I saw your fight to make it through this. I was praying that you were able to return home. I will never forget you or the love we shared. I know that you and my Dad will be watching together from heaven as you two reminisce about the good times we all shared. I love you and miss you.

It's been a month today daddy. It hasn't been any easier yet.
I still haven't stopped stuttering, and the tears continue to flow.
I know you're in a better place now, it's just still hard to let you go.
And everytime I close my eyes, it'll be your face I see. Sometimes there are nightmares, or thoughts of you and me.
I really truly miss you, and that will never cease.
I really love you dad, and I hope that now you are at peace

I will always carry you in my heart. My first born son. I will always remember how u always had a flower for me and u would call every week to check on your parents. Such an humble person. I will miss you. The pain in my heart is so deep. I will see you again my son. You are gone but i will never stop loving you. I no God only gave you to me for a time but that time was too short. He called you home to stop your suffering. Now i am suffering in a way only a parent knows. See you again my son. I love you.

Pop, I don't have much to say and I'm working on my thoughts and true emotions towards our relationship. As your oldest child I always sought your love and validation as your son. I would like you to know even through our troubled relationship I've always loved you and I prayed for your recovery not only for me but for the entire family. I hadn't been patient enough to realize how similar we truly are. I apologize to you for being so thick-headed and stubborn to try and mend the broken bond we greatly suffered from. My regret and pain has no measure. Rest In Peace father and know I'll do my part to take care of the family and live up to be the man you'd hoped I'd continue to be. God bless you pop and I love you. I'll see you again one day.

I will never forget this moment. It was the last coffee date I had with my dad February 23, 2020. He didn't even know I was snapping pictures. He had been wanting to do something with me for so long and we finally got the chance. It was funny because my younger brother was upset that he couldn't come and dad told him "can I just have a moment with me and my baby girl?" It was pretty nice to catch up. My most recent picture, us rebuilding our bond. I will cherish this forever. R.I.P daddy, I love you so much.
