Happy Father's Day

It's Father's Day and I am so happy to have many fathers in my life. These are my natural father, spiritual fathers and the fathers of my friends who have adopted me as their own. To those dads, (My own dad, John William Key, Sr., Lovell Turner, Pastor Charles Warner, Pastor John Hammond, Gilbert Dodson, Richard Dodson, Raymond Martin & Rosie Holman, I say I love you and I wish you a happy Father's Day.

For some, this day is a day of sadness and heartache. Their fathers are not here to celebrate another year. I lost my uncle recently and he had children my age and younger who miss him so much today. It is especially hard since their mom also died a few years prior to their dad. I was going through some pictures from the funeral and came across these. I wish for them the peace of God that passeth all understanding. It's hard, but I hope it gets easier as time passes. I can't tell people how to feel because I am not in the same boat. I am thankful that today I got to hear my dad's voice and hear his laughter. They weren't able to do the same. In tribute to my uncle, the father of my cousins, I remember him with these pictures. I love you guys. We are family and I hope we stay close and don't drift too far apart.
