Papa the papa. Its a mixture of tears and laughter that I write with and find myself going between accepting and denying your departure. You did for a while talk about your departure and I often thought it came with the age but nonetheless to actually live in that reality is something I haven't yet fathomed. You did set the pace set the example and will always remain the greatest influence in my life outside of Christ. You taught me to care and thought me to love. You thought me the impact of dedication and commitment as evident in all your children. You indeed were an embodiment of who and what a father is. We are not strangers to the fact that you never had money growing up but you thought us how one could be rich without it. Your famous quote to me - "Remember the rock from which you were carved". No single day passes without me thinking of you but I must face the reality of this side of life and continue with the baton - may be not with your physical presence but the echoes of your words and memory of your love demonstrated. I know that whilst you rest your impact and legacy will continue to live. Me, Tino and the kids love you papa . See you in the morning.
