4 years agoThis is my letter to you, since I won’t get to tell you myself. Tell God I may not ever understand this one. This is the worst day of my life. You were my hero dad. You always said you owed back in this life, and you always gave everybody a chance who was counted out. You worked so hard just so we didn’t have to grow up like you did. You raised me from a boy to a man. You taught me how to play the game I love, but most importantly you taught me about life, and I’ll remember every lesson. You brightened up any room, you were always the funniest and had the craziest stories. You would do anything for your family. I’m gonna walk across that stage this month with my Master’s degree, just like you planned for me when I came back home to play for you. I know you always had my back, you wanted my dreams to come true even more than I did sometimes. I’m still working on the other part of the plan.. I promise I’ll give it my all to try to make it there. I might not ever shake this one off. You know I’ll protect the family with my life. I hope I’ll make you proud. A legend in my book, and the realest coach on the planet. Basketball didn’t matter, you knew there was so much more to life. See you soon. Words will never explain how much I love you. Rest in Heaven.
