I will deeply miss the man who raised me as his own. For 30 years he was the main male role model I had in my life. Poppy came into my life at birth, and he never left. He showed me that blood isn't thicker than water when it came to family. He taught me so much. How to fish- though I hate the idea of it as an adult. How to swim- which are some of my fondest memories with him. How to drive and plow our driveway- even though I slid his truck into a tree and took out the taillight once. Most of all...Together, him and my mother taught me to *NEVER* be afraid. It was the last thing my mom told me before she passed away in August "Don't be scared". I can hear Poppy saying those exact words to me right now... I'm brave. I'm not scared. Even in this darkest time of my life, I will keep my head up and proud of who you guys raised me to be.
Richie, Keri, Donna- Please, I would love to talk to you guys privately and directly. It has been a long 15 years and I have much I would love to say.
My email is agalimi317@gmail.com if you want to reach out. I do really hope to hear from you.
<3 I will never forget you Poppy, go keep Mommy company for a bit.
