He came into my life when I was 17.
His hair was slightly salt and pepper.
He spoke what he thought - he never held anything back.
He helped anyone who needed help.
He loved life and lived it to the fullest.
He had a heart of gold.
He saw something in me that no one else ever did.
He saw the pain in my eyes.
He worked with me out of love.
He called me on the phone - he kept talking to me.
He never gave up on me.
He was strong but humble.
He became what I never really had, a father - a mentor.
He had 2 beautiful children, a son and a daughter.
He never treated me anything less than a daughter.
Then one day in April 1991 GOD called him home.
I was there when he took his last breathe of life.
Oh how I wish I could of seen
the Angels faces as they heard his sweet voice singing.
He was then and is now the greatest man that I ever knew.
He was my Father-in-Law.
