It took me a while but here I am, and although I never addressed you as “CharlI” yet out of total respect and the fact we had a wonderful son together, TODAY, I WILL.
Your family has always treated.me liken shit although I have never done a thing except help every damn one of them.. but this isn’t about them, its about you,, and Tyler, and even a little about Johnathan and Krysta. I have the utmost respect for Krys, such a beautiful child. I cannot say the same about John. I TRIED to help that boy, out of the blue your mother dropped him off at my office in Georgetown one day with the clothes on his back. I took him under my roof yet again, clothed him, got him in school….. He was with me several years that time…..wrecking cars,, burglarizing buildings, making super poor choices with younger women that has ended up costing him his freedom and shattered lives. Even then, I took his calls…. he stopped calling after a couple years when he saw i had nothing to offer him but prayer.. Its likely for the better. Although it was brief there was a time Charli and I actually spoke on the phone sometimes in the last year of her life. She was the same ole spit fire. There were several occasions back in the day I saved her from shoddy places in the middle of the damned night. In the rain. Would go in the houses and actually GET her. Tiny Charli in a dark corner shivering, cold, crying, scared to death over crap going on there. I threw her over my shoulder, grabbed her little suitcase, and took her to the house. I PROTECTED HER. Made sure she was dry, clean, covered up…. i fed her. NOT EVER EVER did I take advantage and If she could tell you, she would tell you I helped her. I truly believe that. When she was younger no, but when she grew up, yes. This has turned out to be lengthy so real quick, Britne King is also a very good person, a great nurse, and an awesome Mommy. Actually she was my nurse one time I was admitted to BSW and we had no issues AT ALL. She was gonna be my nurse the next day but some of the other staff were talking and saying I was her step dad. We are like NOT, when her mother and I were together she wasn’t even born!! Still, Britne, yet another beautiful daughter you have. Parker too! I believe she is living with Krys…. a great kid also. You definately have beautiful children Charli.
I loved you from the moment I saw you, it was instant, and my love never wavered. Not thru divorce, not thru anything. We stayed in contact more than others thought. I never stopped loving you and I never will. A few days before you passed you said these exact words to me, “I know you are sick Charles, I am also very sick and soon i will be wherever Tyler is”. You were right. I love you. I miss you. And someday soon I will be wherever you and Tyler are. Heaven. With Jesus.
