Don't forget about the Sad moments Don't let go of the bad moments What kills you, makes you weaker  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Heart break is the best of both worlds  The only thing in the world that can kill you but at the same time, makes you stronger. ~ Unknown

Moments before our walk that afternoon,  I realized the path ended too soon. Not long enough to hold his hand,  this amazing person, this loving man. Not long enough to engage his eyes and remember his always brimming with love, happiness and pride. Not long enough to stand by his side, as he was by mine after every rough tide. Not long enough to laugh with him still, after every bad joke, after every tough hill. Not long enough to walk with this man, who has taught me to be the person I am. Not long enough as we walked by his love , to thank them both for my wonderful life. In all the walks I've taken in my life, first as a girl and now as a to of a wife, I'll remember that walk I took with my father and always wish it could have been longer.

Me: *laying in bed looking at bey*  Baby I don't think I can do this

Bey: We have to be strong for me and the kids today please *kissing her forehead*

Me: what if I cant babe? what if I have a mental breakdown? *breaking down*

Bey: baby its perfectly fine and I will be here every step of the way.. Remember our promise?

Me: Yes .... As long as you down I'm down

Bey: You got me I got you *holds out pinky*

Me: And that's all that matters *interlock our pinkies*

Me&Bey: We Ride Till We Die *kissing each other*

A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again. Erica I know he was your father but he was my papa too just know we are going too get through this as a family and I love you and I always will

*Text From NickiPoo*

NickiPoo : Accepting a loss of a dear one is really difficult, but is just another test of faith. God only gives us trials lesser than our strength and assistance beyond our eyes can see. My deepest condolences to you sissy. I know this must be a very difficult and demanding time for you. Please know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Now, the angels in heaven rejoice as a wonderful soul has finally made its way home. We are all sad because he is no longer with us. Life must go on and we must follow our ways so that he feels proud in heaven because we could get up and continue without him. Erica I love you okay and my heart goes out to you Cyn and the family, that I'm so happy to be apart of if you need anything don't hesitate to call me okay I'll come running ... xoxo Nicki

Aaliyah : Your father was an inspiration for all of us. I know he was one of the best fathers in the world to all of us . Your Daddy was the most gentle person on the earth. From all the year I knew papa Brian . We have shared love, joy , and laugh. Now I want to share the grief of his passing away. I know the Pain of his sudden demise of our dad is not easy to recover. But accept my sympathy.
